Ingredients
- 4 pieces large russet potatoes
- 6 pieces bacon slices
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Pierce each potato 4-5 times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork slides easily into the center.
Step 6
While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain, then crumble into small bits once cooled.
Step 7
When the potatoes are done baking, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Step 8
Slice the tops of the baked potatoes lengthwise and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Use a fork to fluff the potato insides.
Step 9
To each potato, add 1 tablespoon of butter, a sprinkling of bacon bits, 3-4 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle black pepper and additional salt to taste.
Step 10
Top the baked potatoes with chopped green onions for a fresh, finishing touch.
Step 11
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious baked potatoes with bacon!
