Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 4 large baking potatoes 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon paprika ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese ½ cup sour cream 4 medium green onions, diced Directions Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out the flesh using a melon baller leaving 1/4 inch in the shell. Reserve flesh for another use. Combine oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic power, paprika, and pepper in a bowl. Brush over both sides of the potato skins. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until crisp, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with bacon pieces and Cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Top with sour cream and green onions. Cook's Note: You can use Colby cheese instead of Cheddar. Editor's Note: Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of potato flesh. The actual amount of potato flesh consumed will vary.
