Ingredients

Preparation

Directions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Prick each potato with a fork several times to allow steam to escape during baking.

2. Bake the Potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

3. Cook the Bacon

While the potatoes are baking, cook the applewood smoked bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.

4. Prepare the Potato Skins

Once the potatoes are done, allow them to cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.

5. Season and Add Filling

Brush the insides of the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Fill each potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.

6. Bake Again

Place the filled potato skins back in 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 serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on top and extra green onions for garnish.
