Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 12 mini or small white potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1/8 tsp ground pepper
- 3/4 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes well, rinse, pat dry, then rub evenly with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes until they are cool enough to handle.
- Increase the oven temp to 450 degrees F.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/8 inch of potato on all sides. Place on the baking sheet.
- Combine the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper in a small bowl. Brush the potato skins with the olive oil mixture on the inside and outside.
- Place the potato skins on the baking sheet skin side down and bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle them evenly with the shredded cheese and bake for another 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon and green onions, then top with sour cream and enjoy!
