    After 20 minutes, turn the potatoes. After another 15 minutes, stir the contents of drawer 2.

  • Step 5

    In a bowl, mash the potato filling, crème fraîche, bacon, onion, grated cheddar, add with salt and pepper. Stuff the potato skins with mixture. Used the sliced cheddar to top each stuffed potato.

  • Step 6
