How to make baked potatoes with bacon

Baked potatoes with bacon are a classic of Mexican cuisine, here are the steps to prepare a delicious recipe.

1. In the first step, we are going to wash the potatoes very well, it is ideal that they are well cleaned so we can help ourselves with a sponge or with a brush. Then we are going to prick the potatoes with the help of a wooden stick, this helps to absorb the flavors.
2. Now we put a pot with water over high heat and wait for it to boil. When it is about to boil, place the potatoes with two tablespoons of butter and half a tablespoon of salt. We let it cook until the potato bursts.
3. When the potatoes are soft we will take them out of the water and let them drain. Then we will make a cross-shaped cut to each one. Then we make a little pressure below the potato to open, very carefully not to crumble and let stand.
4. In a bowl, we will mix the milk and the half cream, beat for a few minutes and finally, we include the cheese. Now we fill the potatoes, add a little butter to each one, then add the milk mixture approximately one or two tablespoons per potato. Finally, we add bacon and some cheese to gratin.
5. Now we are going to put them in the oven but for this, we are going to wrap them with aluminum foil from the bottom up to the middle, that is, without covering them all. We place it on a tray with separation between each and let cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown and ready.
