1
Prep the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
2
Season the Potatoes
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
4
Prepare the Toppings
While the potatoes are baking, prepare your toppings. Cook bacon until crispy and crumble it. Chop the green onions.
5
Assemble the Loaded Potatoes
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly, then make a slit down the center of each potato. Fluff the insides with a fork, then add a generous dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
6
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the loaded baked potatoes hot and enjoy your delicious creation!
