Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the canola oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through.
- Slice the butter into pats. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F.
- With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet.
- Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. (IMPORTANT: If you plan to freeze the twice-baked potatoes, do NOT add the green onions.)
- Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and pop 'em in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Poke the potatoes all over with a fork. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and then drizzle with the oil, turning them over to coat completely. Bake until the potatoes offer no resistance when pierced with a paring knife, about 1 hour. Let cool completely (leave the oven on).
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, being careful not to break the skins (it's better to leave a little flesh in the skin than to risk breaking it). Rice the potato flesh into a large bowl and set aside.
- Stir the milk into the potato flesh along with 2 cups of the Cheddar, and the sour cream, scallions, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper to taste. Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and divide the potato mixture evenly among them. Top the potatoes with the chopped bacon and the remaining 1 cup Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted, the potatoes are completely heated through and the tops are just beginning to brown slightly, 20 minutes more. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.

SPECIAL BAKED POTATOES
For a nifty way to spice up plain old potatoes, try Tressa Surdick's recipe. To make them, she slices the spuds, then seasons them before baking. "Just before they're done, I sprinkle cheese on top of each potato. Our guest always rave about the," Tressa pens from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. (To make the cutting easier, Tressa share this tip: "Place the handle of a wooden spoon along the bottom of the potato-this will prevent your knife from going all the way through.")

DELICIOUS TWICE-BAKED POTATOES
I make these often, they are very good, and the ingredients can easily be doubled for more potatoes, when I make these I always double the recipe, what I don't use I just freeze them on a tray, I just defrost in the fridge overnight and pop them in the oven when I am ready to use them, they freeze well. I have also added in some finely chopped cooked bacon to the potato mixture.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Select starchy potatoes like Russets or Idaho potatoes. These hold their shape well during baking and have a fluffy texture.
- Bake Potatoes Thoroughly: Pierce potatoes with a fork and bake until tender. This ensures they are cooked evenly and have a crispy skin.
- Scoop Potatoes Carefully: Once baked, let potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the flesh. Use a spoon to gently scoop, leaving a thin layer of potato intact.
- Mash Potatoes Smoothly: Use a potato masher or ricer to achieve a smooth and lump-free texture. Season with salt, pepper, and butter to taste.
- Add Mix-Ins: Incorporate various ingredients like cheese, bacon, vegetables, herbs, and spices to create flavorful potato fillings.
- Stuff Potatoes Generously: Fill the potato shells generously with the prepared filling, ensuring each half is evenly filled.
- Top with Cheese: Before the second bake, sprinkle a layer of cheese on top of the filled potatoes. This creates a golden-brown and crispy cheese crust.
- Bake Until Heated Through: Place the stuffed potatoes back in the oven and bake until the filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
