Ingredients

• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 4 large baking potatoes
• 8 green onions, sliced, divided
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes. Set potatoes aside until cool enough to handle.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

Step 4

Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. Add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese, and 1/2 of the green onions to the potato; mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins; top each with remaining cheese, green onions, and bacon.

Step 5

Return potatoes to the preheated oven and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
