Ingredients
- 4 large russet baking potatoes
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- salt and black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream (or more to get texture creamy)
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup 2% milk
- ¼ cup salted butter
- ¾ cup crumbled bacon (cooked and crumbled, divided)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Pierce the potato 2-3 times with a fork. Rub oil all over the potatoes. Rub salt and pepper all over the potatoes. 4 large Russet baking potatoes, 3 tablespoons canola oil, salt and black pepper
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on how large the potatoes are. The potato should be tender inside if you poke a fork into it.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350º F.
- Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Be sure to leave about ¼” of the flesh on the skins so the skins can hold the filling.
- To the potato flesh add sour cream, cream cheese, milk, butter, bacon, chopped onions and 1 cup of cheese. ½ cup sour cream, 4 ounces cream cheese, ½ cup 2% milk, ¼ cup salted butter, ¾ cup crumbled bacon, 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, 2 green onions
- Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until it is well mixed and as smooth as you’d like it. It’s ok to leave the potatoes a little chunky if you’d like...more make them completely smooth!
- Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese and bacon.
- Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with extra bacon and green onions if desired.
