Ingredients
- 6 small Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup green onions sliced
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork and bake for one hour or until softened.
- Cut the potatoes in half. Carefully scoop out the insides of each potato half, leaving a 1/4 - 1/2 inch rim.
- Turn the oven heat to 450 degrees F. Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the potato skins for 10 minutes, then flip them over and bake for 10 minutes on the other side.
- Fill each potato skin with cheese and bacon. Return to the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Place the sour cream in a piping bag or resealable freezer bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe a dollop of sour cream onto each potato.
- Sprinkle with green onions, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Pick the smallest Russet potatoes you can find. You want smaller potatoes because they will be easy to serve as a handheld snack and will maintain their shape better than larger potatoes.
- For an elegant look, use a piping bag or resealable bag with the tip cut off to pipe the sour cream onto the potato skins.
