Twice Baked Potatoes with Bacon and Onions

Ingredients

• Green onions (2, chopped)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Sour cream (1/2 cup)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Onions (1 medium, chopped)
• Bacon (4 slices, chopped)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Russet potatoes (4 large)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, or until tender.
2. While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic and cook until soft and golden.
4. When the potatoes are done, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a thin shell.
5. In a bowl, mix the potato insides, bacon, onions, garlic, half of the cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
6. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells and top with the remaining cheese.
7. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Top with green onions before serving.
