Garlic Cream-Cheese Baked Potato Pinwheels
This stuffed baked potato recipe combines tender, oven-baked potatoes with a deliciously creamy filling. After baking the potatoes until tender, a star-shaped cut is made on top, and the potatoes are stuffed with a savory mixture of crispy bacon and soft cheese. A fragrant garlic butter drizzle adds extra flavor before the potatoes are baked again until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Finished with crispy bacon bits and green onions, these stuffed potatoes are a mouthwatering treat.

Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rub the potatoes with oil and season generously with salt. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
- While the potatoes are baking, thinly slice the bacon and cook it in a small pan over medium heat until crispy. Set aside, reserving a few pieces for garnish.
- In a large bowl, combine the crispy bacon and soft cheese. Mix well and transfer the mixture to a piping bag.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven. Using a chef's knife, make three slices across the top of each potato to create a star shape. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Gently open up the slices and pipe the cheese and bacon mixture into the cuts of each potato.
- In a small bowl, mix together the grated garlic, melted butter, chopped green onion, and season with salt to taste. Drizzle this mixture over the stuffed potatoes.
- Return the potatoes to the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle any remaining butter from the tray over the potatoes. Sprinkle with reserved bacon bits and chopped green onions.
- Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on top.
