A classic comfort side dish, these loaded baked potatoes are easy to make, crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and topped with sour cream, cheese, bacon and chives.

Ingredients

  • 6 russet potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher salt
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese , more if desired
  • 6 Tablespoons sour cream
  • 6 pieces bacon , cooked and crumbled
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped chives
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray.
  • Give potatoes a good scrub and then dry them completely with a paper towel. 
  • Lay on a foil-lined baking sheet, then brush them all over with olive oil. Pierce a few times with a fork or knife and then sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until soft and tender.
  • Slice potato in half and then use a fork to break apart the potato. Add the butter, salt and pepper then mix around. Top with cheese, sour cream, bacon crumbles and chives. Top with salt and pepper and serve while warm.
