Ingredients
8 Servings
- 4 slices bacon
- 60 g butter
- 120 g cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions
- 60 ml milk
- 0.5 tsp pepper
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 tsp salt
- 120 ml sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon until crispy and crumble it. Set aside.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato inside the skin for stability.
Step 5
Mash the potato flesh with butter, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Step 6
Spoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins. Place them on a baking sheet.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes.
Step 8
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious twice-baked potatoes!
