• 8 slices bacon, crisp and crumbled
• 1/3 cup scallions, chopped
• 1 carton sour cream

Directions

Bake potatoes in the oven at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until soft. Cut each potato in half and scoop out the inside of the potato. (Can reserve the inside of the potato to use in some other recipe, if desired). Brush the inside of each potato jacket with olive oil and sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the inside of the potatoes are brown. Remove potatoes from the oven. Spread the inside of the jackets with the Monterey and Cheddar cheese. Add the bacon and scallions on top. Place back in the oven until cheese melts. Serve with sour cream.
