Ingredients

  • 2 large baking potatoes

  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped cabbage

  • ½ cup finely chopped onion

  • 4 slices bacon, chopped

  • ½ cup milk

  • ¼ cup butter

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • salt to taste

  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Scrub potatoes, pierce several times with a fork, and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cook potatoes in the microwave on high for 5 minutes; turn over and continue cooking until soft, about 5 minutes more. Scoop potato flesh into a medium bowl; reserve potato skins.

  3. Cook and stir cabbage, onion, and bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in milk, butter, pepper, and salt until incorporated. Add potato flesh and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese; cook and stir, breaking up potato and mashing lightly, until milk is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

  4. Remove the skillet from heat. Pile potato mixture into potato skins and place stuffed potatoes in a baking dish. Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and potatoes are heated through, about 25 minutes.
