1
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water, then dry them with a towel. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork.
2
Bake the Potatoes
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Scoop and Fill
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato on the skin. Place the skins on a baking sheet.
4
Add Cheese and Bacon
Fill each potato skin with aged cheddar cheese and chopped bacon.
5
Final Bake
Return the filled potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6
Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, top with sliced green onions, and serve hot with sour cream on the side.
