1
Wash and Prepare Potatoes
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
2
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
3
Cool and Cut Potatoes
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.

4
Brush with Oil
Brush the inside and outside of the potato halves with olive oil and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
5
Add Cheese and Bacon
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon into each potato half.
6
Bake Potato Skins
Place the filled potato skins on a baking sheet, cut side up. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7
Add Toppings
Remove potato skins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top with sour cream, chopped green onions, and sliced jalapeños.
8
Serve
Serve warm as a bar where guests can add their favorite toppings.
