Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the Russet potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45–60 minutes.
  3. Once baked, let the potatoes cool for about 10–15 minutes.
  4. Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside, leaving about a quarter-inch.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato flesh with butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, salt, and pepper; mash until creamy.
  6. Spoon the filling back into each potato skin, creating a slight mound on top.
  7. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
