Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  4. Mash the potato flesh with hot milk and unsalted butter until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon the creamy filling back into the potato skins, layering with crispy beef bacon and sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. Crack a large egg into each well, adding a touch of salt and pepper for seasoning.
  7. Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the egg whites are set and yolks are runny.
  8. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving.
