Step 7

Set your oven to 375.

Step 8

Cut each potato in half lengthwise.

Step 9

Using a spoon, gently scoop out most (but not all) of the white inside from each potato. You should aim to leave about 1/4 inch in each skin. The rest of the scooped-out potato can be set aside and used for another dish.

Step 10

Melt the butter and brush the insides of the potato skins. Bake them hollow-side down for about 10 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes, brush the outside of the skins with butter, and gently turn them over (hollow-side up). Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the skin gets crispy and the edges start to brown.

Step 12

Sprinkle the cheese and bacon over the potato skins and return then to the oven for a few minutes until melted and bubbling.

Step 13

Serve with sour cream and green onion!
