Ingredients
- 8 Yukon Golden Potatoes, halved
- 2 Avocados, halved
- 2 Tbsp Avocado Oil
- ¼ cup Milk
- ½ cup Manchego Cheese, grated plus more for topping
- 1 Tbsp Smokey Bacon Infused Sea Salt
- 2 Pieces Bacon, crispy and crumbled
Directions
- In a large pot, add enough water to cover potatoes. Bring water to a boil and add potatoes. Boil for 20 minutes or until fork tender
- Once potatoes are done, cut each potato in half once more. Brush both the potatoes and the halved avocados with avocado oil. Bake at 350 degrees on a foil lined baking sheet for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown.
- Using a hand mixer or potato masher, mash baked potatoes in a large bowl. Scoop avocado flesh into mashed potatoes and stir to combine, being careful not to break the avocado skins.
- Add milk, Manchego cheese and bacon sea salt and mix thoroughly. Carefully scoop mixture back into avocado skins.
- Top with additional Manchego cheese, bacon crumbles, and a pinch of bacon sea salt.
