Ingredients

Scale

For the Baked Potatoes:

  • 4 large russet potatoes

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Crispy Hashbrowns:

  • 4 frozen hashbrown patties (or 2 cups shredded hashbrowns)

  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil

For the Toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 6 slices crispy bacon, crumbled

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped

  • 1 sliced avocado (optional)

  • ¼ cup buffalo chicken or grilled chicken (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. Scrub the russet potatoes, then pat dry.

  3. Rub with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then place on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the inside is fork-tender.

Step 2: Cook the Hashbrowns

  1. While the potatoes bake, heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. Cook the hashbrown patties for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

  3. Set aside on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Step 3: Assemble the Loaded Potatoes

  1. Once the potatoes are done, carefully slice each one open lengthwise.

  2. Fluff the inside with a fork, then top with crispy hashbrowns.

  3. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and let melt for a minute.

Step 4: Add the Toppings & Serve

  1. Top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and green onions.

  2. For extra flavor, add buffalo chicken, grilled chicken, or sliced avocado.

  3. Serve warm and enjoy your fully loaded baked potato!

Notes

  • Use crispy hashbrowns – Fry them well to keep them crunchy in the potato.

  • Don’t overbake the potatoes – Fork-tender is perfect, but too long can dry them out.

  • Want extra cheesy potatoes? – Add more cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes.

  • For spicy potatoes – Drizzle with buffalo sauce or add sliced jalapeños.
