Baked Potato Skins With Brie Truffle Recipes

BLACK TRUFFLE FONTINA CHEESE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Prick the potato skins all over. Bake the potatoes in aluminum foil wrappers until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small saute pan over medium heat until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the fat behind. Add the panko and garlic and toast until browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Combine with the bacon, draining any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the potatoes from the foil while warm, and cut down the centers lengthwise without cutting all the way through; scoop the centers into a bowl.
• Mash the potatoes with the cream, butter and truffle. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the potato mixture back into the skins and top with the fontina cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 4 minutes.
• Garnish with the breadcrumb mixture, chives and more shaved truffle and serve.
