Stuffed Potatoes

Ingredients

• medium-sized potatoes
• finely chopped bacon

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Thoroughly wash the potatoes.

2. Cut a thin slice from one end so they can stand.

3. Cut a thicker slice from the top to use as a cover.

4. Use an apple corer to make a hole nearly to the bottom of each potato.

5. Fill the cavity with finely chopped bacon.

6. Replace the covers on the potatoes.

7. Bake in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C) until cooked.
