Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or dairy-free milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or dairy-free cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled or turkey bacon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: extra shredded cheese, additional crumbled bacon, more fresh chives, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt, then pat them dry. Rub each potato with olive oil, ensuring the skins are well-coated.
  3. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, cook your bacon until crispy. Once cooled, crumble it into small pieces and set aside.
  5. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving a small border around the edges to maintain the structure. Place the scooped-out potato into a mixing bowl.
  6. Add softened butter, sour cream, milk, garlic powder, paprika, and half of the shredded cheese to the mixing bowl. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, packing it in gently. Top with the remaining cheese and crumbled bacon.
  8. Place the stuffed potatoes back onto the baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle fresh chives on top, and serve warm.

Notes

Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping to avoid burning your hands. Experiment with fillings like sautéed veggies or diced ham for variety.
