Ingredients
- 12 small baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss baby potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
- Allow potatoes to cool slightly, then slice off the top third of each potato and scoop out the centers into a bowl, leaving a thin shell.
- Mash the scooped-out potato with sour cream, milk, butter, cheese, green onions, and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, mounding slightly.
- Return filled potatoes to the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and heated through.

Notes
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
- Make ahead and reheat just before serving.
- Use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for variation.
