twice baked chicken pot pie potatoes with crispy bacon

I’m not the biggest fan.

Let’s be real…french fries, smashed taters, breakfast potatoes, potato chips, curly fries, mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, and TATER TOTS are worthy potato eats. Am I right?

There is a part of me that wishes I had some tragic experience with a baked potato that would provide a rational reason as to why I am so “meh” about it. I mean the baked potato hasn’t done anything personally to me. Well, if you count a potato gun, but that’s a whole different story altogether.

Growing up, I remember my mom fixing a lot baked potatoes. Maybe that’s it? I was baked potato overloaded as a child. I remember my seven year-old self trying to cover it’s “meh-ness” by drowning it in sour cream, shredded cheese, butter, and chives, but nothing worked. So, I would sit at the dinner table like a New York Times food critic, eat only the toppings, and b&%ching to my dolls about how 1990 this dish was.

But! Like I said earlier, it’s not the potatoes fault. So rather than keep pushing my grocery cart past the russet aisle, I figured they could use a little a makeover. Baked Potato meet Chicken Pot Pie. Chicken Pot Pie meet Baked Potato. Let’s mingle.

With comfort food hitting the stoves now that the cooler temperatures have steadied, I thought, why not stuff the standard russet with one of my all-time favorite comfort foods? I could eat chicken pot pie all year-round. A flaky, golden pie stuffed with veggies, chicken and a cheese sauce, what’s not to like?

For this chicken pot pie version, I used the baked potato as the pie vehicle. Let me tell you, it’s comfort food baked at an insane level of deliciousness. Top it with a little more cheese, bacon….there’s nothing “meh” about it.

In conclusion, our Twice-Baked Chicken Pot Pie Potatoes, adorned with crispy bacon, redefine comfort. Indulge in creamy satisfaction, a harmonious blend of flavors that leaves a lasting, savory impression.
