Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup milk

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/2 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped for added greens

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Scrub the russet potatoes under running water to clean them, then prick each multiple times with a fork. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, until tender.

      Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.

        Cut each potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the insides into a large mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of potato in the skin to maintain structure.

          To the bowl of potato flesh, add the sour cream, milk, butter, half of the cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions. If you’re using broccoli, add it here as well.

            Use a potato masher or fork to thoroughly mix everything until creamy and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Spoon the loaded potato mixture back into each potato skin, mounding it slightly for a generous filling.

                Top each with the remaining cheddar cheese.

                  Place the stuffed potatoes back onto a baking sheet and return them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
