Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the potatoes clean under running water, then pat them dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 3

Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to ensure a crispy skin.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are soft. Test doneness by gently piercing with a knife or skewer.

Step 5

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Cut a lengthwise slit on the top of each potato. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin shell intact.

Step 7

To the potato insides, add butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, garlic powder, milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a hand masher or fork to mix until the filling is well combined and smooth.

Step 8

Spoon the filling back into each potato shell, mounding it over the top.

Step 9

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.

Step 10

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra green onions or crumbled bacon if desired.
