How to Make Loaded Sliced Baked Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice each potato into thin slices, but do not cut all the way through. Keep the bottom intact.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
- Mix the melted butter with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the butter mixture generously over each sliced potato, making sure some gets between the slices.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the edges are crispy.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon over the top.
- Return to oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Take them out and sprinkle with chives or green onions.
- Serve warm with sour cream if desired.
