Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle.

Step 2

Poke holes into each potato several times with a fork. Rub oil all over each potato and place them on a cookie sheet and bake until the skins are crisp and inside is tender, about 50 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool for about 10 minutes. Set the oven to broil.

Step 3

Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch intact, reserve the flesh for another use. Brush the skin side of the potatoes with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until skin starts to crisp. Flip potatoes over and brush the insides with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the insides under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the edges just start to brown.

Step 4

Fill each skin with cheese and crumbled bacon. Place back in the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling, keep a close eye on it. Remove from the broiler and top each with sour cream and green onions. Serve immediately.
