  • Scoop out the fluffy potato interior into a bowl, leaving the skins intact.
  • Mash the potato flesh with sour cream, milk, butter, cheese, bacon, scallions, salt, and pepper.
  • Refill the potato skins with the mashed mixture and return to the oven.
  • Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the tops are golden and bubbly.

Notes

For best results, serve immediately and garnish with extra scallions.
