Potato Preparation

Method

Preparing the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Bake the Potatoes

    Place the potato halves cut-side up on a baking sheet. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until the insides are soft and the skins are crispy.

Adding Toppings

  1. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. Cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it. Slice the green onions.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven. Carefully scoop out some of the potato flesh, leaving a small border around the skin. Fill each skin with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions.

  3. 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.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove the potato skins from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with sour cream on the side for dipping.
