Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Green onions, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Using a fork, pierce the potatoes several times all around to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle a pinch of salt over each one for a crispier skin.

Step 5

Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife or fork.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each one in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a medium mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato flesh inside the skin to maintain the shape.

Step 7

To the bowl with the scooped-out potato, add butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese (reserve a small amount for topping), crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Mash the mixture until smooth and fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the stuffed potatoes.

Step 11

Return the stuffed potatoes to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and serve hot. Garnish with additional green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
