directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and bake potatoes for 1 hour.
  • Allow potatoes to cool 10-15 minutes.
  • Cut potatoes in half and scoop out flesh and place in a medium bowl.
  • Put potato skins aside.
  • Add sour cream, butter, milk, half of the bacon, 1/2 of the cheese and 1/2 of the green onions to the potato flesh and mix well.
  • I do use my hand mixer, but be very careful not to overmix as it will turn pasty.
  • Scoop potato mixture back into the skins and top with remaining bacon, cheese and onions.
  • Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes if baking right away. If you are making ahead then they should bake longer- about 30-40 minutes.

  1. Easy and delicious! Thanks Heidi Sue, for a keeper recipe!
     
  2. We were very disappointed with this....was quite bland & WAY too much sour cream. Doubt if I'd make it again...sorry. THANKS for sharing, though.
     
  3. We loved these really tasty and wonderfully textured twice-baked potatoes! Instead of scallions I sauteed some finely diced yellow onion in fat from the just-fried bacon and included both. It was so nice to prepare the potatoes in advance and have them refrigerated and ready to go at suppertime. They would also freeze excellently ~ Just hold back on the cheese and bacon toppings until the potatoes are thawed and ready to bake. Thanks HeidiSue for sharing a new family favorite recipe!
     
  4. I loved this recipe for the simplicity! With two picky kids, I can custom-make everyone a potato without hearing "EEEWWWWW! There is ____ in my potato!" My husband and I love it just the way it is written, but my kids don't like bacon or green onions, so the extra goes on our potatoes! Next time I might try subbing some of the sour cream for Boursin--only to the grown up potatoes! Very tasty and great make-ahead for dinner party.
