Fully Loaded Baked Potato

Course - Side Dishes :: Serves - 4

Baked potato fans will love my quick & easy recipe for loaded potatoes! After baking the potatoes to perfection, scoop out some of their insides to mix with crisp bacon, sour cream, butter, and plenty of shredded cheese. Serve them as a side or for a quick lunch idea.

Ingredients

4 Large Russet Potatoes (Scrubbed Clean)

4 Slices Bacon (Cooked & Chopped)

2 Medium Green Onions (Chopped)

1/4 Cup Butter (Softened)

1 Cup Sour Cream

1 1/2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/4 Teaspoon Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 375.
Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and arrange on a sheet pan. Bake until potatoes are tender all the way through, about 1 hour. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Slice each potato open and scoop out the flesh, leaving enough on the edges for the potato to keep its shape. In a large bowl, add the potato flesh and lightly mash. Add butter, sour cream, onion whites, 1 cup cheese and half the bacon. Season with salt & pepper and mix well.
Stuff the hollowed potatoes with the potato filling and top with remaining cheese, bacon & onion greens. Bake until cheese is melted & bubbly, about 15-20 minutes.
