Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them all over with a fork. Rub the potatoes lightly with olive oil, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Let the potatoes cool slightly until they're safe to handle.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin shell of potato around the edges. Place the scooped-out flesh in a large bowl.
Mash the potato flesh with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Add butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
Fold in 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped green onions. Mix gently to incorporate.
Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup generously.
Top each cup with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the twice-baked potato cups from the muffin pan.
Garnish with the remaining green onions before serving.
