Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Prick the potatoes several times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
3. Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut a slit in the top of each potato and fluff the insides with a fork.
5. Evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, crumbled bacon, green onions, and parsley over the potatoes.
6. Return the sheet pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
