Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Prick each potato several times with a fork.

2

Bake the Potatoes

Rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for about 45-60 minutes or until fork-tender.

3

Scoop Out the Flesh

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out some of the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato around the skin.

4

Season and Prepare the Skins

Brush the inside of each potato skin with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Place them on a baking sheet.

5

Add Toppings

Fill each potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.

6

Bake Again

Return the loaded potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with a generous dollop of sour cream on the side.
