First, preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the potatoes thinly—about /8 inch—without cutting all the way through the bottom. Place the potatoes on a prepared baking sheet and carefully rub the garlic on the insides of the slices after which you will stuff the sliced butter between a few of the cuts.

Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and bake until crispy on the top and tender in the middle—about 1 hour.
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

The potatoes should be ready, so remove from the oven and stuff the slices of cheese in between a few of the slits. Grate any remaining cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle on the bacon, and return the potatoes to the oven until the cheese has melted for about 5 minutes.
