Notes
1. I live in Sydney, Australia, and use the dirt brushed potatoes available at all grocery stores and supermarkets. In the US, russet are the best to use.
I use potatoes that are about the size of 2 golf balls (side by side) but you can really make these with any size potatoes you want. The only difference is the cook time in the microwave and ensuring you have enough to fill them!
2. If you choose to use lean bacon rather than fatty bacon, you won't have enough bacon fat to brush the potatoes to make them crispy. So you will need to use melted butter to compensate.
