Servings
Ingredients
- 8 medium russet potatoes scrubbed clean
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound bacon cooked and crumbled, divided
- 2 c grated sharp cheddar cheese divided
- 1/2 c mayonnaise
- 1 c sour cream
- 6 green onions sliced, with some set aside for garnish
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and give a 9x9-inch baking dish a quick spray with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Rub each potato well with olive oil, sprinkle with a bit of salt, and place them on a baking sheet or straight on the oven rack. Bake for 45-60 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re tender. Let the potatoes cool for about 15 minutes so you can handle them, then lower the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Once they’re cool enough, cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and toss them into a large bowl.
- Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the bowl and mix everything until combined.
- Stir in about 1 1/2 cups of cheese, three-quarters of the green onions, and three-quarters of the crumbled bacon. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Sprinkle the remaining green onions on top before serving. Enjoy!
