Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 6 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• ¾ teaspoon chili powder
• ¾ teaspoon garlic salt
• 6 large russet baking potatoes
• 6 tablespoons green onions, chopped
• 6 tablespoons grated sharp Cheddar cheese
• 6 tablespoons diced cooked bacon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Toss potatoes with oil in a large bowl until well coated. Add garlic salt, chili powder, and pepper and continue to toss until spices are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Place potatoes directly on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center of a potato offers little resistance, about 40 minutes more.

Step 4

Slice each baked potato lengthwise down the center, add sour cream, green onions, Cheddar cheese, and bacon. Serve piping hot.
