Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Using a fork, pierce each potato several times to allow steam to escape during cooking.
3. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.
5. While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the toppings. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and salt and pepper.
6. Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, carefully slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
7. Add a pat of butter to each potato and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
8. Divide the topping mixture evenly among the potatoes, piling it high.
9. Place the potatoes back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the toppings are heated through.
10. Remove from the oven and garnish with additional green onions, if desired.
