Crispy Baked Boursin

Step 1

Scrub and clean potatoes, and preheat oven to 400 degrees

Step 2

When clean, grab a baking sheet and olive oil. Drizzle and rub olive oil all over the potatoes until well-coated. Then, sprinkle and pack Maldon flaky salt on all sides of the potatoes. Crack black pepper over the top and roast for about an hour or until fork-tender

Step 3

Remove from the oven and let cool until cool enough to touch

Step 4

Next, slice the potatoes completely open or carve out an oval shape on the top of the potatoes - but either way, carefully scoop out the insides and put into a bowl. Make sure you leave some of the potato attached to the shell

Step 5

Add in butter, half & half, and Boursin then using a mixer, whip up

Step 6

When mixed well, add in bacon + chives. Mix again until whipped and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add another splash of cream if needed to thin out the consistency

Step 7

Spoon the potato mixture into the shells, and place back into the oven to roast for another 15 minutes or so. I like to broil for 1-2 more minutes to get some added color at the end but keep an eye to make sure they don't burn

Step 8

Take out of the oven, top with fresh chives, and serve!
