Ingredients
- 4 russet potato washed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter salted
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese divided, shredded
- 1/2 cup green onion sliced
- 1 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub the potatoes and poke 8-10 holes in the skin of each using a fork for ventilation. Rub them with olive oil and season with salt. Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, or until tender.
- Once done, carefully cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides into a large mixing bowl, ensuring you leave a thin layer of potato in the skin.
- Add butter, sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheese, green onions, bacon, salt, and pepper to the mixing bowl. Mash the mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Place the potato skins back onto the baking sheet. Spoon the potato mixture into each skin. Sprinkle each with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Lower the oven temperature to 375°F. Bake the stuffed potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
