Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 slices Bacon
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to clean them, then pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 3

Poke each potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender.

Step 6

While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 8

Thinly slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops, and set them aside.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Add lemon juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 10

Remove the baked potatoes from the oven. Allow them to cool for a few minutes until safe to handle.

Step 11

Cut a slit down the center of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Fluff the insides with a fork.

Step 12

Spoon the avocado mixture evenly into each potato, spreading it out over the surface.

Step 13

Top the avocados with crumbled bacon, sliced green onions (both white and green parts), and a sprinkle of fresh chives.

Step 14

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, dairy-free baked potato with bacon.
