Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
Once potatoes are cooled- cut potatoes length-wise so you have two long halves.
You want a thin edge around the whole potato. So, 1/4"-1/2" from edge of potato score with a knife where you want to scoop out the middle of the potato. Be careful to not go through the potato skin.
Use a spoon to scoop out the middle of the potato, leaving 1/4-1/2" of potato on the skin. Be careful to not scoop away the bottom of your potato.
Place the potato skins on a baking sheet.
I like a lot of cheese so we fill the middles up with lots of cheese!
Sprinkle crumbled bacon and onion slices on top of cheese
Bake for 5-7 min or until cheese is melted. (May need to cook longer if potatoes have been in refrigerator.)
Top with sour cream and salt and pepper
