Ingredients:

• 6 Baking Potatoes


• 2 Tbsp olive oil


• 1 Tbsp kosher salt

For the potato filling:

• 1/3 cup half and half or 2% milk


• 6 Tbsp of butter


• 1 cup of shredded cheese


• 1/4 cup of sour cream


• 1/2 tsp kosher salt


• Bacon pieces/bacon bits


• 1/4 tsp of pepper


• Chopped green onions
  

  

  
  

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Scrub the potatoes under running water and dry them off.


• Pierce the potatoes with a fork or knife a couple times. Drizzle olive oil on top of each potato and rub it in. Top with some kosher salt.


• Bake for an hour in the oven.


• Let the potatoes cool or use an oven mitt to hold them while cutting the top part off.


• Use a knife and go around the inside edges of the potato then scoop it out with a spoon.


• Mash the potatoes in a bowl and add in the sour cream, half & half, butter, and the salt & pepper.


• If you want them creamier use a hand or kitchen aid mixer. Scoop them back into the potato skins then top with some cheese, bacon, and green onions.


• Bake at 375 degrees for about ten to fifteen minutes or until the cheese is melted.


• Put a dollop of sour cream on top and you’re ready to eat!
