TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
• Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
• Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
• Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F. Wash the potato, then coat it in the oil. Place on a small rimmed baking sheet, and bake for one hour.*
• Line a separate small rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lay the bacon strips onto the foil, leaving space between them. Pop the bacon into the oven when the potatoes have about 15 minutes remaining, and cook it at 400 F for 15-18 minutes until browned and crispy.
• After an hour of baking, remove the potato from the oven and gently pierce it with a knife to make sure it is completely cooked through and tender. Carefully transfer the baked potato to a cutting board, and turn the oven down to 350 F. Allow the potato to cool for a few minutes before handling.

• Cut the butter into small cubes, and place the cubes into a large bowl.
• Cut the potato in half lengthwise.
• Carefully scoop out the insides of the potatoes, leaving the skins intact. (It helps to leave about 1/2" of potato around the edges so they don't tear apart.) Place the scooped out potato directly into the bowl with the butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, and mix to combine until the butter is melted.
• Stir in the green onions and sour cream.
• Stir in the cheese, chopped bacon, and whole milk. Taste, and season with more salt or pepper if desired.
