Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry, then rub the potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Remove potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the inside of each half into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch rim of potato on the skin to hold the shape.
To the bowl with potato flesh, add the butter, sour cream, and milk. Mash the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Stir in half of the cheddar cheese, all the bacon, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spoon the creamy potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding slightly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the filled potatoes.
Return the filled potatoes to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious twice-baked potatoes!
