Directions
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Use a fork to poke holes into the potato.
Brush the potato with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper. Once seasoned, place the potato onto a wire rack lined baking tray.
Place the tray into the oven and cook the potato for 40-60 minutes. The potato should be crispy on the outside and fork tender on the inside.
Remove from the oven and let cool until potatoes are easy to handle. Using a knife, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise.
Using a spoon, scoop the flesh out of the potato leaving a 0.25 inch thick shell. Brush the inside and outside of the potatoes with melted butter.
Place the potatoes on a half baking tray, then place the tray into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp.
Place cheese and bacon into the potato and bake for 5-7 minutes. The cheese should be melted and starting to brown.
Pull from the oven and garnish with green onion. Serve with sour cream.
