Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- 4 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the potatoes well and dry them thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Rub the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt. Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes until they are safe to handle but still warm.
Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato flesh attached to the skins to form a sturdy shell.
Mash the scooped-out potato insides with butter, sour cream, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is too thick.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells, slightly mounding it over the top.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the stuffed potatoes. Add crumbled bacon and sliced green onions as toppings.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy these decadent double stuffed potatoes as a side dish or a hearty appetizer!
