Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Place the prepared potatoes directly on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes, or until safe to handle.

Step 7

Slice each potato lengthwise down the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently push the ends toward the center to open up the potato slightly.

Step 8

Fluff the potato flesh with a fork, then add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato, letting it melt into the warm potato.

Step 9

Sprinkle garlic powder and paprika over the fluffed potato flesh for an extra kick of flavor.

Step 10

Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, dividing evenly among the potatoes. Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and finish the potatoes with crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and a dollop of sour cream.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Bomb Baker Potatoes Guy Fieri Style!
