1 teaspoon oil
6 medium-sized potatoes
1 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
3 strips thick cut cooked bacon, diced
16 ounces sour cream
1 ripe tomato, diced
Fresh chives for serving, chopped finely
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a fork, prick potatoes in a few places. Microwave for at least 10 minutes or until soft.
Halve the potatoes vertically and remove the insides of the potato until there is only ¼ inch of the potato shell left.
In a deep saucepan, heat oil to 365 °F. Deep-fry potato shells for 5 minutes, then transfer onto plate lined with paper towels.
Add cheese and diced bacon into potato shells. Place on the baking sheet prepared earlier and bake for at least 7 minutes or until cheese is fully melted.
Serve immediately with spoonful of sour cream on top or on the side. Sprinkle with diced tomatoes and chives.
