For a richer flavor, consider using roasted garlic instead of minced garlic. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyere, for a unique twist. If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt makes an excellent substitute. To make ahead, prepare the filled potatoes and keep refrigerated until ready to bake. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepRub potatoes with olive oil and salt; pierce each several times with a fork. Arrange onto a baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. (2 minutes)
03
StepBake in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly until manageable while keeping the oven heated to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (60 minutes)
04
StepCarefully halve potatoes lengthwise. Gently scoop out the potato flesh from each half into a mixing bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch border of potato attached to the skin to maintain structure. (10 minutes)
05
StepMelt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. (2 minutes)
06
StepIn the bowl with the scooped potato, add most of the Monterey Jack cheese (reserve some for topping), sour cream, and most of the chopped green onion. Mix thoroughly with the garlic-butter mixture until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (5 minutes)
07
StepSpoon the potato mixture back into the potato skins, mounding them slightly. Arrange the filled potatoes on the baking sheet. (5 minutes)
08
StepSprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese over the filled potatoes. (1 minute)
09
StepBake in the oven until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and lightly golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
10
StepGarnish with the remaining green onion, crumbled bacon (if using), and a sprinkle of smoked paprika (if using). Serve immediately.
