Chipotle Bacon Wrapped Fully Loaded Potatoes
I was trying to think of a unique way to serve potatoes with bacon and decided that instead of filling a baked potato with bacon crumbles I would wrap bacon slices around it! I started by microwaving the potatoes to ensure the skins were still soft, scooped out the fluffy potato flesh and mixed it with cheese, chipotle peppers and green onions. After wrapping the potatoes in bacon, I basted them with smoky adobo sauce then baked them until the bacon was delicious and crispy. This could not be any more tasty!
