Ingredients:
4 large baking potatoes
1/2 lb. lean, sliced, smoked bacon
1 head of fresh garlic
2 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
1/4 lb. unsalted butter
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450°. Fry the bacon until it is crispy, drain, cool, and crumble. Cut the top off of the head of garlic to reveal the tips of the cloves, drizzle cooking oil over the exposed tips and wrap the entire head in aluminum foil. Bake the potatoes and the wrapped garlic for 30 to 45 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender and the garlic is soft and pasty (don't burn the garlic - it gets bitter). Allow the potatoes to cool just enough so you can safely handle them and cut them in half, lengthwise. Carefully scoop out each potato half with a spoon and put the warm pulp into a mixing bowl. Set the empty potato shells (boats) aside. Squeeze the roasted garlic paste into the bowl, add the butter and mash the mixture well with a potato masher (yes, by hand). It's okay if it's a bit lumpy, the lumps add character. Add salt and pepper to your personal taste and mix well. Add the crumbled bacon bits and the cheese, mix well again. Spoon this mixture into the potato shells, they should be overstuffed with a dome shaped top. Return the stuffed potato boats to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tops brown slightly. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped chives, and enjoy.
