Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 3
Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife or fork.
Step 5
Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Slice each potato lengthwise down the center, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently squeeze the sides to open up the potato slightly.
Step 7
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce over each potato, then top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and garnish with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.
Step 10
Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.
