Ready to elevate your meals? I’m thrilled to share a mouthwatering recipe for cheesy baked potatoes! With a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, these potatoes are filled with gooey cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh green onions—sure to delight your taste buds!

INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium potatoes
DIRECTIONS
Prepare the Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
Mince the garlic using a food processor or a fine grater. Chop the parsley leaves finely.
Make the Garlic Butter:
Mix the garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper into the softened butter until combined.
Tip:
If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add more garlic to the butter mixture.
Rub the Potatoes:
Rub the potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated.
Roast the Potatoes:
Place them on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50 minutes.
Cook the Bacon and Onions:
While the potatoes are roasting, chop the bacon into small pieces and finely dice the onion. Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until slightly crispy, then add the onions and sauté until caramelized.
Make the Sour Cream Mix:
Stir the lime juice into the sour cream and set aside.
Cut open the Potatoes:
Once the potatoes are done, take them out of the oven. Carefully make a slit down the middle of each potato, making sure not to cut all the way through. Using tongs, gently press the sides to open up the potato.
Fill the Potatoes:
Spread some garlic butter on each potato, then spoon a bit inside. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fluff the inside of the potatoes using a fork.
Add the Toppings:
Add a spoonful of the sour cream mix, bacon, onions, and mozzarella cheese to each potato.
Bake Again:
Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for another 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Tip:
For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Serve:
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Add another dollop of sour cream and a little more garlic butter on top. Serve hot and enjoy!
