Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • STEP 1: PREPARE THE POTATOES
  • Wash Potatoes: Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel.
  • Prick and Oil: Use a fork to prick each potato several times. This allows steam to escape while baking. Brush the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • STEP 2: BAKE THE POTATOES
  • Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • STEP 3: ADD BBQ SAUCE AND TOPPINGS
  • Slice and Fill: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Carefully slice each potato open lengthwise.
  • Add BBQ Sauce: Pour barbecue sauce generously over the inside of each potato.
  • Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the barbecue sauce, allowing it to melt slightly.
  • Finish with Toppings: Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
