Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 strips Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 3 Scallions, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Scrub the russet potatoes clean. Dry them thoroughly and rub each potato with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

Step 3

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly, about 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife, slice the top third off each potato lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh of each potato, leaving a thin shell intact, and place the scooped flesh into a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher. Add the butter, sour cream, milk, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Gently fold in half of the crumbled bacon and half of the chopped scallions.

Step 8

Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly. Place the filled potatoes in a baking dish.

Step 9

Top each potato with the remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle with the leftover bacon crumbles.

Step 10

Return the filled potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish with chopped scallions and a light dusting of paprika, if using. Serve hot and enjoy your steakhouse-style twice baked potatoes!
