Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Turn on the broiler to the low setting.

  3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them lengthwise and scoop out flesh to within 1/4 inch of skin. Reserve flesh for another use.

  4. Brush inside of potato skins with butter. Add 2 tablespoons cheese to each one, sprinkle with seasoned salt, and top with bacon.

  5. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with sour cream and scallions.
