\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Detailed Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C (fan assisted). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrub them gently, and dry them.
Cut each potato lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the center with a teaspoon to a depth of about 1 cm. Set aside the flesh. Brown the pancetta in a nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and drain on paper towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the hollowed-out potato flesh, and mash it lightly with a fork. Stir in the cream, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and about half of the pancetta.
Fill the potato halves with this creamy mixture. Press the filling lightly, but do not press it down.
Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with the remaining pancetta and a little more cheese, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and the pancetta is crispy.
After removing from the oven, sprinkle with fresh chives, let rest briefly, and serve immediately.
\ud83d\udca1 Practical Tips
For an extra crispy skin, brush the outside of the potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil.
For a lighter version, replace the cream with low-fat ricotta or plain yogurt.
It’s excellent as a main dish, but also as a side dish for grilled meat or salad.
