Ingredients
  

  • 4 whole Russet potatoes large, scrubbed clean
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil for rubbing
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt for sprinkling

  • 1/2 cup Sour cream full fat preferred

  • Remove baked potatoes from the oven. Carefully slice them open lengthwise.

  • Divide the shredded cheddar cheese, crispy beef bacon, and sour cream evenly among the potatoes.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and black pepper. Serve hot.
