Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Wash potatoes and wrap in foil. Place wrapped potatoes in the oven and bake for an hour.

Once done cooking carefully unwrap and cut potatoes in half. Scoop out the interior of the potatoes leaving about a 1/2 inch along the edges.

Place the insides ina. bowl, add cream cheese, butter, salt, pepper, and milk. Mash together until you get the desired consistency. Add in 1/2 Cup of cheese, the chopped jalapeños, and bacon, mix into the potatoes. Scoop mashed potatoes back into the shells and place on a baking sheet.

Add remaining cheese ontop of the potatoes, place a couple jalapeño slices on each. Reduce the heat in the oven to 375˚F and bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and has some color to it.
