Indulge in our Loaded Baked Potato, overflowing with creamy butter, rich sour cream, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and fresh chives for a hearty and satisfying treat.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the potatoes under cold water and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Prepare the Potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork slides easily through the flesh.

Bake the Potatoes

While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings: crumble the bacon, chop the green onions, and get the sour cream and cheddar cheese ready.

Prepare the Toppings

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato lengthwise and gently squeeze the ends to open them. Fluff the insides with a fork, add a dollop of sour cream, a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and top with crumbled bacon and green onions. Season with black pepper to taste.

Assemble the Loaded Potatoes

Serve the loaded baked potatoes hot and enjoy!
