1
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
2
Bake the Potatoes
Place the prepared potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Cool and Slice
Once the potatoes are done, allow them to 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.
4
Add Cheese and Bacon
Preheat the oven to broil. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet. Fill each skin with white cheddar cheese and chopped bacon.
5
Broil
Broil the potato skins for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6
Serve
Remove from the oven and top with sour cream and sliced scallions. Serve warm.
