Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or sea salt
  • ½ pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Topping:
  • ¼ pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Rub potatoes with olive oil and salt. Place on baking sheet and bake for 45–60 minutes or until fork-tender. Let cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  4. Cut baked potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place in a large bowl. Leave skins on for added texture, if desired.
  5. Add mayonnaise and sour cream to the potatoes and stir to combine.
  6. Fold in most of the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Transfer mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  8. Top with remaining cheese and bacon. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with reserved green onions before serving.

Notes

  • You can prepare this dish up to 48 hours in advance and refrigerate before final baking.

  • Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as instructed, adding 15–20 minutes if frozen.
  • Use other cheeses like Colby Jack or Mozzarella for flavor variation.
  • Leave potato skins on for added texture and authenticity.
