Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup butter
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 6 strips bacon
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with foil. Prepare your potatoes to be baked, clean the potatoes and poke them each along the body with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool enough to handle. While potatoes are baking, cook your bacon and cut them into small bits.
- Cut each baked potato in half, lengthwise, and scoop the potatoes from the skins, keeping the skins intact.
- To a medium bowl, add the scooped potatoes, sour cream, butter, milk, ⅔ of the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, half of your prepared bacon bits, and half of your green onions. Using a hand mixer, whisk everything together until it is well mixed and creamy.
- Scoop the potato mix into each hollowed out skin, dividing it evenly between all 8 skins. Once your skins are filled again, top each one with your reserved cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and green onions.
- Line the filled and topped potatoes back on the baking sheet and bake them for an additional 15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy fresh!
