Breakfasts foods are my favorite. I often make them at dinner time as there isn't much time to stand in front of a stove first thing in the morning. One dish worth sharing is a potato boat.
You will need the following items to make your potato boat:
- 1 russet potato
- 2 tbsp. sour cream
- 1 slice cooked bacon
- 2 eggs
- Dash salt
- Dash pepper
- 2 oz. cheddar cheese
Follow the steps below to make the potato boat:
Step 1:
Wash the potato and poke several holes in it with a fork.
Step 2:
Bake the potato in the microwave. Start off setting the microwave for 4 minutes. Keep microwaving 1 to 2 minutes at a time until the potato is soft.
Step 3:
Cut the potato in half to form two boats. Scoop a little bit out of the center of each potato boat.
Step 4:
Spoon 1 tbsp. of sour cream inside each potato boat. Top with crumbled bacon.
Step 5:
Scramble two eggs in a greased frying pan. Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper on top.
Step 6:
Remove the eggs from the heat. Add cheddar cheese.
Step 7:
Once the cheese melts, add the scrambled eggs to the top of your potato boat.
Tips:
Chives, bits of ham, onions and green peppers all make a great addition to any potato boat.

Bake your potato in the oven if you don't have a microwave (my mom doesn't own one). Just be aware that potatoes take a long time to bake this way.
