Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.25 cup Crumbled cooked bacon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Using a fork, poke several holes on all sides of each potato to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 4

Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 5

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack (or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper) and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Once baked, carefully remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, make a lengthwise slit across the top of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through. Gently press the ends of the potato inward to open it up slightly.

Step 8

Fluff the potato insides with a fork, leaving the skins intact. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato and let it melt into the flesh.

Step 9

Top the potatoes with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon. Adjust toppings to taste.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Hipquest's Baked Potatoes!
