Preparation of potatoes stuffed with egg, bacon and cheese

1. We chose good-sized potatoes that are as regular in shape as possible. We wash them under the tap and cook them in water for 25 to 35 minutes, depending on their size. To check that the potatoes are cooked, we prick them with a fork, it would have to be easily entered. It is important that we do not overdo the cooking since what we want is that they are cooked but not undone, at their point.
2. As an alternative we can also roast the potatoes in the oven. To do this we wrap them separately with aluminum foil and bake them for about 1 hour at 200º C until they are done. We check by clicking them, on top of the paper to see if the fork is easily inserted.
3. We remove the potatoes and let them cool before proceeding to fill them. If we begin to manipulate them in hot we run the risk that the outer skin will come off. Once cold, we cut a top cover on each of the potatoes and proceed to empty them with a spoon. We discard the inside of the potatoes to accompany, for example, a little fish the next day, or for example prepare a potato salad (do not think of throwing anything away). We season each one inside.
