Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes scrubbed clean
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound bacon diced and cooked
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup light sour cream (full fat can also be used)
- 1/2 cup skim milk (a higher fat milk can also be used)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- green onions for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Rub the potatoes lightly with extra virgin olive oil and salt them with kosher salt. Set them on a baking sheet and cook for one hour or until you can easily slice through one.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently slice them in half. Scoop out the insides, leaving 1/4 inch of the potato around the edges, and putting the scooped insides into a medium bowl.
- Add the the butter, sour cream, and milk to the potatoes. Beat until smooth. Stir in the salt, pepper, 3/4 cup of the bacon bits, and half of the cheddar cheese.
- Put the mixture into the potato shells. Top with the remaining cheese and reserved bacon. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh green onions.
