- Bake them taters! Maybe wash them first, but then bake them. Shouldn't be more than about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
- While they're cooking, fry up the bacon, remove from heat and dice into bits. Dice up the green onions while you're at it.
- Once potatoes are done, halve them and scoop the insides out into a bowl, saving the skins. It helps to keep a thin layer of potato against the skin, so you don't rip it.
- Mash the insides with the milk, butter, sour cream and seasonings. Stir in most of the bacon, green onions and one half of the cheddar.
- Scoop the mashed potatoes back into the potato skins.
- Garnish with remaining bacon, green onions, and cheddar.
- Place the warm, garnished halves in the oven for 15 minutes, until the tops are crisping up and slightly brown. Stick a fork in the middle to test the heat and serve.
