Steps
- 1Pierce potatoes several times with a fork, rub lightly with a bit of oil, and bake at 220°C for 50-55 minutes, until a knife slides in easily and the skin is crisp.
- 2Meanwhile, cook bacon in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until deeply crisp, then crumble.
- 3Slice each potato lengthwise and fluff the interior with a fork, then mix in butter, salt, and pepper.
- 4Top each potato with Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and a scattering of chives.
Tips
- Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for the crispiest skin.
- Warm the yogurt slightly before topping so it doesn't cool the potato too fast.
