Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then dry them with a clean towel.
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Rub the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
Carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.
Slice each potato lengthwise down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom skin.
Scoop out the flesh of each potato into a large mixing bowl, leaving about 1/4-inch of flesh around the edges to create a sturdy shell.
Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the butter, sour cream, milk, cheddar cheese, bacon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potato mixture. Stir until fully combined and creamy.
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly above the edges.
Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Golden Stuffed Baked Potatoes!
