Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean under running water, then dry them with a towel.
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and the skins are crisp.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes, until they're cool enough to handle.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a large mixing bowl, leaving the skins intact to form shells.
Mash the potato insides with butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and half of the sliced green onions.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it on top to create a stuffed appearance.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle them with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions before serving.
