Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rub the Russet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Poke holes in each potato and bake directly on the oven rack for 1 hour until tender.
- Remove and cool the potatoes for 15 minutes. Slice in half and scoop out the fluffy potato flesh into a bowl.
- Mix the potato flesh with softened butter, heavy cream, and sour cream until creamy.
- Stir in chopped potato skins, half of the crispy bacon, and sliced scallions. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Grease a baking dish and spoon in the creamy potato mixture. Top with remaining cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and any extra potato skins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it sit and then garnish with remaining bacon and scallions before serving.

Notes
Mix gently to avoid a gluey texture. Allow leftovers to cool before refrigerating to maintain freshness. Can be frozen before baking for a convenient meal later.
