Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 5 large Idaho baking potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 0 to taste kosher salt
  • 0.5 lb bacon, chopped
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 oz grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • 0 to taste salt and freshly ground white pepper
  • 4 porterhouse steaks, about 12-14 oz each
  • 0 to taste Creole seasoning

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and salt. Bake until fork tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Render the bacon in a saute pan until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Halve the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, half the cheddar, chives and bacon. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Re-stuff the potato shells, mounding the filling high. Top with remaining cheddar. Bake for 15 minutes until cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Preheat the grill. Brush steaks with remaining oil and season with Creole seasoning. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Serve each steak with an overstuffed baked potato.
