A wonderful Egg Potatoes Boat recipe for Breakfast

This is one of the most fulfilling breakfast recipes that is having a wonderful egg potatoes boat recipe. 


I used to be one of those people that always skipped breakfast. I always had an excuse whether it be about time, not being hungry, or feeling too lazy to cook myself something. 


I’ve since become a HUGE breakfast fan and really do believe it’s a very important way to start the day! These Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes are something I love to make on the weekends. They’re so delicious, comforting and easy to make.


How to Make Our Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes?

Try it out as it deserves to be tried. 


Process

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F.
  2. Place potatoes directly on oven rack in the center of the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender through the center.
  3. Remove from oven and cool potatoes for about 15 minutes.
  4. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and hollow each half out, scooping the potato flesh into a mixing bowl.
  5. Turn each potato half over and carefully slice the bottoms with a knife (making sure not to slice through the hollowed enters) so each potato is level. This will really help keep everything intact when the eggs are added to the hollowed potatoes. 
  6. Add butter and cream to the potato filling and mash together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and stir together.
  7. Spread 1 tablespoon of potato mixture into the bottom of each hollowed potato skin and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese (you will have some remaining mashed potato left to nibble on).
  8. Add 1 rasher bacon to each half and top with a raw egg.
  9. Place potatoes onto a baking sheet and return to the oven.
  10. Lower oven temperature to 375˚F and bake potatoes until egg whites just set and yolks are still runny, 18 to 24 minutes.
  11. Top each potato with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese and return to the oven for one minute. Top with sliced chives and serve!


FAQs 

Can these be made ahead of time?

To save on time, you can bake potatoes, slice them in half , scoop them out and level the bottoms ahead of time. You can also make the mashed potato filling and cook the bacon ahead of time. When ready to serve, slightly warm the mashed potato mixture, assemble, bake, and serve!

Why add the mashed potato filling back to to the skins?

Although not 100% necessary the mashed potato adds more structure to the skins and ensures the raw eggs wont leak through the bottom of sides of the skins.

What if you don’t like a runny yolk?

You can bake the potatoes a few minutes longer so the yolks set, or you can beat the eggs before pouring them into the skins, creating more of a quiche filling!


Variations 

  • Sweet Potatoes can be used instead of russet potatoes.
  • Crispy, sauteed mushrooms (of any kind!) can replace the bacon for a vegetarian option.
  • Any good melting cheese like Monterey Jack, gruyere or fontina can be used instead of cheddar.
  • Other herbs can also be used in place or in addition to the sliced chives, such as minced thyme, minced cilantro, and chopped basil.


Tips for Success

  • Make sure your potatoes have no holes when you start to fill it. If there is a hole, make sure you repair it with mashed potatoes.
  • A melon baller is helpful to scoop the potato out of the potato halves.
  • You can prepare the potatoes ahead of time by baking, halving, and scooping them out.
