1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
3
Oil and Season
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

4
Bake the Potatoes
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
5
Cool and Cut
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato skin.

6
Add Toppings
Place the potato halves on a baking sheet. Fill each half with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.
7
Second Bake
Return the loaded potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8
Serve
Remove the potato skins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with sour cream on the side.
