1
Wash and Prepare Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Season and Bake
Poke several holes in each potato with a fork. Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with 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
Prepare the Toppings
While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings. Chop the cooked bacon and slice the jalapeños. Shred the cheese if not using pre-shredded.
4
Load the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and use a fork to gently fluff the insides.
5
Add Toppings
Start with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a layer of chopped bacon, jalapeños, and a dollop of sour cream. Finally, top with chopped green onions.
6
Final Bake
Return the loaded potatoes to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
