Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and wash the russet potatoes. Poke several holes in each potato to prevent bursting.
  2. Coat the potatoes with avocado oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and bake for 50–60 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Let the potatoes cool for about 10 minutes, then slice each in half and scoop out the insides, leaving some for structure.
  4. Mash the scooped potato flesh with hot milk and unsalted butter until creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Refill the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture, making a small well in each center for toppings.
  6. Add chopped beef bacon and shredded cheddar cheese to each potato well, and crack an egg on top.
  7. Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15–20 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks are slightly runny.
  8. Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
