list of 7 items
1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400¡ãF (200¡ãC). Scrub the potatoes, pat them dry, and pierce each one a few times with a fork.
2. Bake the potatoes: Brush the potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes,
or until the skins are crispy and the potatoes are tender inside.
3. Prepare the filling: Once the potatoes are baked, let them cool slightly. Cut a small slit along the top of each potato and carefully scoop out the
insides into a bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato to keep the skins intact.
4. Mix the filling: Add butter, sour cream, half of the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions to the potato insides. Season with salt and pepper,
and mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
5. Stuff the potatoes: Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly on top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each potato.
6. Bake again: Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Garnish with extra green onions or bacon, if desired, and serve hot.
