Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing off any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Bake the Potatoes

    Poke each potato several times with a fork and rub them with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings: shred the cheddar cheese, cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it, chop the green onions, and set aside the sour cream.

  4. 4

    Load the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut a slit on the top of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Add butter, cheese, bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream to each potato. Top with chopped green onions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the loaded baked potatoes while hot and enjoy your delicious creation!
