Bacon Cheddar Hasselback Potatoes

 Preheat oven to 400°F.
 Place a potato on a cutting board with a wood skewer or chopstick against each of the long sides (lengthwise). Cut 1/8th inch slices in the potato, stopping about 3/4 of the way through. The skewers will keep you from cutting all the way through.
 Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and place a piece of butter in between every few slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 1 hour.
 The potatoes will slightly open up, so you can stuff cheese and turkey bacon in between the slices. Use 2 ounces of cheese and 1/4 of the cooked turkey bacon for each potato.
 Return potatoes to oven and cook for 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Notes :

 Ensure you do not cut all the way through the potatoes to keep fillings from falling out.
 Using skewers or chopsticks while slicing can help avoid slicing through.
 Consider varying the cheeses for different flavors, such as Pepper Jack for a spicy twist.
