Ingredients

• 4 pieces large baking potatoes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 3

Rub the potatoes with olive oil, and pierce each of them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes, or until safe to handle.

Step 6

Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato shell intact. Place the scooped-out potato flesh in a mixing bowl.

Step 7

To the mixing bowl, add butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese (reserve a small handful for topping), milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash together until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Stir in half of the crumbled bacon and half of the chopped green onions.

Step 9

Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato shells, mounding it slightly.

Step 10

Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle the top with the reserved cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the stuffed potatoes from the oven and garnish with the remaining crumbled bacon and green onions.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy your Wonderful Stuffed Potatoes!
