Ingredients
- 8-10 small Russet potatoes scrubbed well
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for brushing
- 4 Tablespoons coarse kosher salt plus additional as needed
- freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 lices Bacon cooked until crispy, then crumbled
- 3 green onions sliced
- 3/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub the potatoes well, then dry with paper towels. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt, rubbing each potato to make sure they are evenly coated.
- Bake for about 45-60 minutes until the potatoes are soft when squeezed with an oven mitt.
- Slice each potato in half when it is cool enough to handle and use a spoon to carefully scoop out the insides of each potato half, leaving about a 1/4-inch border of potato skin and flesh for each shell.
- Brush the inside of each potato skin with a little additional olive oil and season with a little more salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F, then bake for another 10 minutes on one side before flipping them over and baking for another 10 minutes on the other side until they are crispy.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese and crumbled bacon over the potato skins, then place them back in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with the sliced green onions and serve with the sour cream dolloped on top or in a bowl for dipping.
