Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes (about 3 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha Asian hot chili sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 large eggs
  • 8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 jar (4 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 4 green onions, sliced (about 1/2 cup)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high 10-12 minutes or until tender, turning once.

When cool enough to handle, cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells. In a small bowl, mash pulp with butter, sour cream, hot chili sauce, salt and pepper.

Place potato shells on a parchment paper-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Spoon potato mixture into potato shells, creating a 3/4-in.-deep well, building up sides with potato mixture as needed. Break one egg into each well. Bake 25-30 minutes or until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Top with bacon, pimientos and cheese; bake 2-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with green onions.
