Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, pat them dry, and poke several holes into each potato using a fork.
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato to help the skins hold their shape.
Mash the potato flesh in the bowl using a fork or potato masher.
Add unsalted butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, evenly distributing the filling among them.
Sprinkle the tops of the filled potatoes with extra shredded cheese and additional crumbled bacon.
Place the filled potatoes on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fully Loaded Twice Baked Potatoes!
