Savor the delicious crunch of Loaded Lettuce Potatoes, a wholesome twist that elevates your dinner game tonight!

1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then poke holes in them using a fork to allow steam to escape. This helps them cook evenly.

3

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork.

4

While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to soak up excess grease. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

5

After the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, slice each potato in half lengthwise.

6

Scoop out some of the potato flesh using a spoon, creating a little boat. Be careful to leave some potato on the skin to maintain structure.

7

In a bowl, mix the scooped out potato with sour cream, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in half of the chopped bacon and a handful of sliced green onions.

8

Spoon the filling back into the potato skins, and top with the remaining bacon and extra cheese if desired.

9

Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

10

Finally, serve on a bed of chopped lettuce, garnished with more green onions if desired, and enjoy!
