total timeIngredients
6 small baking potatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
½ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled, or 3 tablespoons bacon bits)
2 tablespoons sliced green onions (or chives)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream (for serving)
Directions
To Bake Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Scrub the potatoes and poke each potato with a fork 5-6 times. Place them directly on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let cool until the potatoes are easy to handle.
To Prepare Potato Skins
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh leaving a ¼-inch thick shell.
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, parsley, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Brush the inside and outside of the potatoes with the butter mixture.
Place potatoes cut side down in a baking dish or 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
Flip potatoes over and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until slightly browned and crisp.
Fill each potato with cheese and bacon. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, top with green onion and serve with sour cream.
