    HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE:

    • Step 1: Prep your potatoes. Clean your potatoes and pierce each a few times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle all over with salt. Place on your baking sheet.
    • Step 2: Bake. Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes at 425℉. You can also make your bacon at this time (if you are using as a topping). Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut them in half length-wise.
    • Step 3: Make the filling. After cutting in half, carefully remove the inside of the potatoes, leaving about ½" all over. Add the insides to a bowl and combine with the butter, heavy cream, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Step 4: 2nd bake. Evenly add the filling back into the potato shells. Top with a sprinkle of cheddar and bake again for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
    • Step 5: Toppings. Once you pull your twice baked potatoes out of the oven, top with sour cream, bacon, and green onions.

    LOADED BAKED POTATO TOPPINGS:

    There are a few loaded baked potato toppings that are key and non-negotiable in my opinion – sour cream, bacon, and green onions. Some others that you could add:

    • Red onion
    • Tomatoes
    • Salsa
    • Jalapeños
    • Beans
    • Ground beef
    • Avocado
