Ingredients
  • 6 md Baking potatoes
  • 6 sl Bacon; cut in small pieces
  • 1/3 cup Minced onion
  • 1/3 cup Milk
  • 1 Egg; beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sweet paprika
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 cup Chopped clams
  • 1/2 cup Buttered bread crumbs
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Wash potatoes and prick skins with a fork. Bake directly on oven rack for 45-50 minutes until tender.
  2. 2
    While potatoes bake, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
  3. 3
    Add minced onion to the bacon fat and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. 4
    Add chopped clams to the skillet with the onions and sauté for 1 minute just until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. 5
    Once potatoes are baked, remove from oven and let cool slightly. Split each potato lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skins to maintain structure.
  6. 6
    Place potato flesh in a large bowl. Mash with butter, milk, beaten egg, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
  7. 7
    Fold the cooked bacon, clam and onion mixture into the mashed potatoes until evenly combined.
  8. 8
    Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it high.
  9. 9
    Top each stuffed potato with a generous sprinkle of buttered bread crumbs.
  10. 10
    Bake at 350ðF (175ðC) for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is hot.
