These are the ultimate loaded potatoes.


4 med baking potatoes
1 stick salted butter
1 pint sour cream
1 tsp lemon juice
3 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/4c shredded monterey jack cheese
2 scallions (thinly sliced)
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper (more if you like spicy)
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425*. Wash potatoes thoroughly and pierce. Bake in oven for 45 min or until done.


Once potatoes are done, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out the potato leaving the skins intact. Put scooped out potato in a large bowl. Add butter and sour cream. And mash until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Using a large spoon, fill the potato skins with mixture. Top with additional shredded cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Place back in the oven for 15-20 min.
