How to Make Bakes Potato Eggs

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub 4 medium russet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each several times with a fork.
  3. Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for approximately 1 hour, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and gently scoop the flesh into a large bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato in the skins.
  5. Add 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup milk to the mashed potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. Stir in 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled (your choice of sausage).
  7. Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding slightly.
  8. Create a small well or depression in the center of each potato half, large enough to hold an egg.
  9. Crack 1 large egg into each well.
  10. Place the stuffed potato halves on a baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
