# Loaded Baked Potato Pockets: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Favorite
If you love the comforting flavors of a loaded baked potato but want a fun, portable twist, Loaded Baked Potato Pockets are the perfect solution. These pockets combine fluffy baked potatoes, melted cheese, crispy bacon, and tangy sour cream into a handheld delight that’s ideal for lunch, dinner, or even a snack.
## What Are Loaded Baked Potato Pockets?
Loaded Baked Potato Pockets are essentially a creative spin on the traditional baked potato. Instead of eating your toppings piled on top, everything gets wrapped inside a flaky dough pocket—think of it as a potato-stuffed pastry! This makes them easy to eat on the go, kid-friendly, and versatile enough to customize with your favorite toppings.
## Ingredients You’ll Need
* **Potatoes:** Russet potatoes work best for that fluffy interior.
* **Cheese:** Sharp cheddar or a blend melts beautifully.
* **Bacon:** Crispy, smoky bacon adds a delicious crunch.
* **Sour cream:** Adds creaminess and tang.
* **Green onions:** For freshness and a mild onion kick.
* **Seasonings:** Salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
* **Dough:** Store-bought biscuit dough or puff pastry for quick assembly.
## How to Make Loaded Baked Potato Pockets
1. **Bake the potatoes:** Start by baking the potatoes until soft inside. Let them cool before scooping out the flesh.
2. **Mix the filling:** Combine the potato flesh with cheese, cooked bacon bits, sour cream, green onions, and seasonings. This creamy, flavorful mixture is the star of the pockets.
3. **Prepare the dough:** Roll out your dough and cut it into circles or squares large enough to hold a generous scoop of the filling.
4. **Fill and seal:** Spoon the potato mixture onto each dough piece, then fold and crimp the edges to seal the pockets.
5. **Bake until golden:** Place the pockets on a baking sheet and bake until the dough is golden and crispy.
