Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large baking potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake potatoes directly on oven rack for about 1 hour or until tender. Let cool slightly.
  3. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving a thin shell.
  4. Add sour cream, butter, cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, salt, pepper, and milk to the potato flesh. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells and place in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top if desired.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the potato mixture. You can prepare the potatoes a day ahead and bake just before serving to save time.
