Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped
- 4 tablespoons Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Step 4
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt. This will ensure a crispy skin.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack. Alternatively, you can place them on a baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake the potatoes for about 60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces through to the center.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 8
With a sharp knife, cut a lengthwise slit across the top of each potato to open them up.
Step 9
Fluff the insides gently with a fork, being careful not to tear the skins.
Step 10
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to each potato, mixing it in with the fluffy insides.
Step 11
Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Step 12
Add a pinch of black pepper to each potato for added flavor.
Step 13
Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and the cheese is perfectly melted.
