Loaded Baked Potatoes
4 servings
1 hour, 30 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 3 lb total)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 4 oz cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 tablespoons sour cream

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Pierce potatoes on all sides with fork, then coat with oil. Arrange potatoes on wire rack set inside baking sheet (or place directly on oven rack with baking sheet underneath to catch any drips). Bake potatoes 55–75 minutes until tender and cooked through.
    2. Meanwhile, cook bacon following package instructions. Grate cheese; slice green onions thinly.
    3. Chop bacon finely. Cut lengthwise about three-fourths of the way across top of each potato; push ends together gently to expose interior. Season insides of potatoes with salt. Divide butter among potatoes; top with bacon, cheese, sour cream, and green onions; serve.

    Chef's Tip: Try topping your baked potatoes with broccoli and cheese, leftover shredded barbecue pork or beef, chili and cheese, beef stew, clam chowder—the possibilities are endless.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
