Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 pieces bacon, cooked and chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Sour cream and green onions for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Place two wooden spoons or chopsticks on either side of the potato on a cutting board. Slice the potato into ⅛-inch thick slices, using the spoons or chopsticks as a guide so you don't cut all the way through the potato.
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry
Arrange potatoes in an oven proof baking pan or cast iron skillet.
Using a basting brush, coat potatoes with 2 tablespoons of melted butter including inside the slits.
4 tablespoons butter, melted
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir well. Coat the potatoes with the seasoning, rotating potatoes to ensure they are fully coated.
2 teaspoons salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and use a knife to gently pull layers apart. Brush on the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
Bake for 40-50 more minutes or until they are crispy on the outside. Top with the bacon and cheese and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
4 pieces bacon, cooked and chopped, 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Top with sour cream and chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!
