Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for the skins)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup milk (plus more if needed)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Paprika (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  3. Bake the potatoes for 55 to 70 minutes until tender.
  4. Cool the potatoes for about 10 minutes, then slice each potato in half lengthwise.
  5. Scoop the fluffy potato flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer inside the skins.

  7. Fill the potato skins with the creamy mixture.
