Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 60 minutes or until they are fully cooked and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for about 10 minutes, until they are safe to handle.
Carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the cooked flesh into a large mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin to maintain the shell's integrity.
Add the butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potato flesh in the bowl. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and green onions until well combined.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly on top.
If you plan to freeze the stuffed potatoes, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about 2 hours until firm. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bags. Label and store for up to 3 months.
If you want to enjoy the potatoes immediately, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes until heated through and the tops are lightly golden.
To reheat frozen potatoes: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), place the frozen potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake for 30–40 minutes or until heated through.
