4 large baking potatoes
0.5 cup sour cream
1.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
0.5 cup chopped green onions
4 tablespoons butter
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and thoroughly scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt or residue.
- Prick each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape and place them directly on the oven rack.
- Bake the potatoes for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove potatoes from the oven and reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Allow potatoes to cool slightly.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin shell.
- Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, and half of the chopped green onions into mashed potatoes.
- Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly in the center of each potato.
- Place stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and top each with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through.
- Garnish with remaining green onions before serving and enjoy the delicious cheesy potatoes.
