1
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes under cold water to clean them. Poke holes in each potato with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
2
Cook the Bacon
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3
Prepare the Green Onions
Wash the green onions and chop them into small pieces, separating the green parts from the white parts.

4
Cut and Stuff the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato lengthwise and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Fluff the insides with a fork, adding butter, salt, and black pepper to taste.
5
Add Toppings
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over each potato, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream on top and garnish with the chopped green onions, using both the green and white parts.
