Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 8 slices Vegan bacon strips
- 1 cup Vegan cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, cook the vegan bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool, then chop into small pieces.
Step 7
When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 8
Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open it up.
Step 9
Fluff the insides with a fork, then top with vegan cheese and return to the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 10
Remove the potatoes from the oven and top each with a dollop of sour cream, chopped vegan bacon, black pepper, and a sprinkle of chives.
Step 11
Serve warm.
