Twice Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ((divided))
• 8 green onions ((sliced; divided))
• 4 slices bacon ((crumbled))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for about 1 hour until tender. Let them cool so you can handle them.

3. 3

   Cut the cooled potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the insides into a bowl. Place the skins on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, ½ cup cheese, and half of the green onions to the bowl. Mash with a potato masher and then mix until combined (do not overmix, otherwise they will get a gummy texture).

5. 5

   Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheese and crispy bacon.

6. 6

   Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese melts. Top with green onions and serve hot. Enjoy!
