Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (120g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ bunch green onion, thinly sliced
  • Sour cream for serving
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Use a fork to poke holes into the potato. 
  2. Brush the potato with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper. Once seasoned, place the potato onto a wire rack lined baking tray.
  3. Place the tray into the oven and cook the potato for 40-60 minutes. The potato should be crispy on the outside and fork tender on the inside. 
  4. Remove from the oven and let cool until potatoes are easy to handle. Using a knife, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. 
  5. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh out of the potato leaving a ¼ inch thick shell. Brush the inside and outside of the potatoes with melted butter. 
  6. Place the potatoes on a half baking tray, then place the tray into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp.
  7. Place cheese and bacon into the potato and bake for 5-7 minutes. The cheese should be melted and starting to brown. 
  8. Pull from the oven and garnish with green onion. Serve with sour cream.
