Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes clean under cold water and dry them thoroughly. Poke each potato several times with a fork.

Step 3

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt.

Step 4

Bake for 60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin as a shell.

Step 7

Add butter, sour cream, milk, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the potato insides. Mash together until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, heaping slightly, and place them back on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filled potato skins.

Step 10

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.
