<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Bread may be the most traditional ingredient to pair with breakfast eggs, but potatoes are an equally filling and versatile option.<\/p>\n
While cooking raw spuds in the morning are one way to enjoy them as part of a meal, using up leftovers is much more efficient.<\/p>\n
Whole jacket potatoes that have been cooked days before can be repurposed as flavoursome boats stuffed with healthy foods.<\/p>\n
And one food blogger has the perfect recipe for a “straightforward” meal. Sharing the method on her blog, The Skinny Fork, chef Amanda Plott said: “This potato is baked twice over and loaded with the breakfast favourites of bacon, egg, and cheese!<\/p>\n
“They\u2019re great for mornings when you want a nice hearty and filling breakfast, but don\u2019t have a lot of time on your hands since these can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you\u2019re ready for the second and final bake.”<\/p>\n

Make this by combining the reserved potato with two tablespoons of milk, salt and pepper to taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n Divide the creamy mixture evenly amongst the four potato skins and top with around two tablespoons of shredded cheese, one slice of raw bacon and one cracked egg.<\/p>\n Transfer the stuffed shells onto the baking sheet to cook for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are suitably cooked.\u00a0<\/p>\n Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with some more cheese and top with fresh chopped chives before serving.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/14\/590x\/secondary\/jacket-potato-recipe-breakfast-4912243.jpg?r=1692194305485\")
