Bacon Cheese Baked Potato

What is it?

Full-sized russet potato, baked until the skin holds and the inside turns fluffy, split open and topped with warm cheese sauce, applewood-smoked bacon pieces, and sour cream. The cheese runs into the potato rather than sitting neatly on top, while the bacon adds salt and a little crunch. Sour cream cools everything down. Wendy's has kept baked potatoes on its menu since the 1980s, which sets it apart from most fast food sides. Within the chain's potato lineup, this is the loaded version, with more toppings than the plain or plain-with-cheese options.
