Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (approximately 8 slices)

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1/3 cup honey mustard dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Olive oil, for brushing

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Once clean, pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork easily pierces through.

    Prepare the Tater Skins: After baking, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool just until they are manageable. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch thick walls to create sturdy shells. Place the emptied potato skins on a baking sheet.

      Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the scooped potato flesh with the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

        Stuff the Skins: Take a generous amount of the prepared filling and pack it into each potato skin, pressing it down lightly to ensure it stays compact.

          Wrap with Bacon: Cut the cooked bacon strips in half. Wrap each stuffed potato skin with a half slice of bacon, ensuring the filling is fully enveloped. If needed, secure the bacon with a toothpick to hold it in place.

            Brush & Bake Again: Using a brush, lightly coat the tops of the potato skins with olive oil. Drizzle a small amount of honey mustard dressing on each one for added flavor. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Serve: Once baked, take the tater skins out of the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Drizzle additional honey mustard dressing on top as a garnish and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using for a beautiful presentation.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the tater skins on a decorative platter. Arrange them evenly and sprinkle with extra green onions and parsley for a pop of color. Consider serving with a side of additional honey mustard dressing for dipping!
