Baked potatoes with cheese and bacon filling

Boil 3 medium-sized potatoes in salted water for about 20-25 minutes, until they are tender. Then halve the potatoes and scoop out the meat with a spoon. Transfer the potato mixture to a bowl. Fry the bacon cubes until crispy, dice the small onion, and add them to the pan at the end. Chop the garlic and add it too. Then add everything to the bowl with the potato mixture, including the fat. Stir well; this works really well with a fork. A few potato crumbs are perfectly fine. Fold in the herb cream cheese and about 100g of Gouda. Line a baking tray or wire rack with baking paper, fill the scooped-out potatoes with the mixture, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake for about 13-15 minutes at 180°C. If you like it spicier, feel free to chop a chili pepper and stir it in. This is also delicious, but it’s more a matter of taste!
