Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and dry them. Using a fork, poke several holes into each potato to allow steam to escape while baking.

3. Bake the Potatoes

Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Assemble Loaded Potato Skins

4. Cut and Scoop

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 scoop out some of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.

5. Add Toppings

Place the potato skins on a baking sheet, brush the insides with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fill each skin with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions.

6. Bake Again

Return the loaded potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve

7. Plate and Serve

Remove the loaded potato skins from the oven and serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping.
