Baked Potato With Bacon And Pineapple

Baked Potato with Bacon and Pineapple
Winter is a perfect time for baking hot food, with the added benefit of warming the house up. A mate of mine recently served me a baked potato topped with bacon, shallots, cheese and pineapple. I am not a huge fan of cooked pineapple, but this was so nice I had to share it. Pineapples are a variety of bromeliad native to South America and the ‘fruit’ is actually a flower, as I explained in a previous post about pineapple cultivation.

Ingredients
2 Large whole potatoes
150g Bacon
100g Grated cheese
100g Diced Pineapple
3 Shallots
150ml Sour Cream

Method
Wrap the potatoes in aluminium foil with the reflective (shiny) side inwards and bake them for an hour at 180°c.
Cut the bacon into strips or chunks and fry them until crisp.
Add the pineapple and shallots and fry it slightly.
When the potatoes are soft, cut a cross on top and squeeze them from the bottom to open them.
Fill the potatoes with cheese and the bacon, pineapple and shallots and return them to the oven briefly.
Serve topped with sour cream.
Warning: This indulgent dish is high in cholesterol.
Cholesterol is only found in animal products such a meat, animal fat, eggs and dairy food.
Contrary to popular misconceptions potatoes, avocadoes, bananas and vegetable oils do not contain cholesterol as they are derived from plants which can not produce cholesterol.

Good point, Keiran. It looks good in photos but this dish is easier to eat if the foil is removed before serving.
