| Yield: | 6 potatoes |
Ingredients
- 6 large russet baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- ¾ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¾ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
- 6 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 6 tablespoons grated sharp Cheddar cheese
- 6 tablespoons diced cooked bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Toss potatoes with oil in a large bowl until well coated. Add garlic salt, chili powder, and pepper and continue to toss until spices are evenly distributed.
- Place potatoes directly on the center rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until a toothpick inserted in the center of a potato offers little resistance, about 40 minutes more.
- Slice each baked potato lengthwise down the center, add sour cream, green onions, Cheddar cheese, and bacon. Serve piping hot.

Reviews
The presentation was good although it makes the name of this recipe a little deceiving. It would help if they split the baked potato more and added more toppings making the name loaded baked potato realistic.
These were really good- the only thing I would add is butter underneath the rest of the toppings.
I made these but with red potatoes and they were DELICIOUS! I forgot the sour cream though.
We make these a lot – – even in the summer when I use my turkey roaster out on the back patio. I always use real butter and we like taco meat inside out potatoes but I don’t add it until after they’ve baked a while and are soft enough to cut into and then spoon in the meat and let it heat through. When we’re ready to eat them, we add the sour cream and chopped green onions, etc. We generally eat these as a “stand alone” meal. Nothing else with it except a cool, tall glass of lemonade, iced tea or filtered water with fruit added for flavor. That’s it. It’s a filling and great meal, even for men with big appetites (they eat two, usually).
Great Cooking
