Ingredients

  • 2 Classic Russet Idaho® potatoes
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1/2 red pepper diced
  • 1/2 green pepper diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 c. cheese

Instructions

  • Poke holes in both potatoes and place them in the microwave for 6 minutes. Halfway through the time flip the potatoes over. Remove from the microwave and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cut the potatoes in half. Using a spoon, scoop out the middle of the potatoes, leaving a 1 inch rim. Set the potato halves aside.
  • Chop 1/3 c. of the potato middles and place in a bowl along with the red pepper and green pepper.
  • Place the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium high heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Add the potatoes and peppers to the pan with the bacon grease and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until the peppers begin to soften.
  • In a medium bowl beat the eggs. Add in the salt, pepper, and cheese and mix well. Add the pepper mixture and mix.
  • Crumble the bacon into the egg mixture and mix well. Pour the egg mixture into the four potato skins, filling almost to the top.
  • Carefully place the potato skins in the prepared baking dish and place in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the centers of the omelet are set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3-4 minutes before serving.
