I make these all the time! I've used a couple short cuts to save time. First, I "bake" them in the microwave for the first bake, that really cuts down on bake time. It only takes about 10 min. to cook 4 baking potatos instead of an hour. I let the oven pre-heat while the potatos are "baking." It's important to use a potholder when handling the hot potatos. Since the skin comes out a little softer when prepared in the microwave, it's important to leave a good 1/4" skin when scooping out the insides. Second, I buy pre-cooked bacon. I follow the rest of the directions for mixing the filling and bake the second time in the oven. They always come out perfect. My kids actually prefer them cooked in the micro first because the skin isn't quite so tough. I hope this helps some time savy cooks save some time!
