My bacon cooked way too crispy tonight. I think the next time I do this, I will wrap the spuds in foil for 2/3rds of their cooking time removing it to finish. They tasted fantastic, and this recipe is really worth trying and altering to suit!

Thought it was a great idea, but mine turned out pretty nasty. Maybe my spuds were too big. If we try it again I'm going to bake at 350 and choose smaller bakers. Used some leftover green onions for the insides. Smelled fabulous!

A very simple yet nice way to make a baked potato. I really like baked poatatoes and this was a great variation. :)

Very tasty way to do baked potatoes. I loved the taste of the onion and bacon on the potatoes. I added sour cream on top of my potatoes with more black pepper. I will make these again for something different.
