Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 8 slices)

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

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

Olive oil for brushing

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Bake the Potatoes:

    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Thoroughly scrub the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt, and pat them dry.

        - Using a fork, pierce each potato several times to allow steam to escape during baking.

          - Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

            Prepare the Tater Skins:

              - Once the potatoes are baked and have cooled enough to touch, slice each potato in half lengthwise.

                - Carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato around the skin to form a sturdy shell.

                  - Arrange the empty potato skins on a baking sheet, ready for filling.

                    Make the Filling:

                      - In a mixing bowl, add the scooped potato flesh, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.

                        - Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful filling.

                          Stuff the Skins:

                            - Using a spoon, generously fill each potato skin with the prepared mixture, pressing down slightly to ensure the filling stays packed.

                              Wrap with Bacon:

                                - Take the cooked bacon strips and cut them in half.

                                  - Wrap each filled potato skin with a half slice of bacon, overlapping slightly as you go.

                                    - If needed, secure the bacon in place with a toothpick to prevent unwrapping during baking.

                                      Brush & Bake:

                                        - Lightly brush the tops of the potato skins with olive oil for extra crispiness.

                                          - Drizzle a bit of honey mustard dressing over each wrapped potato skin for that signature sweet and tangy flavor.

                                            - Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                                              Serve:

                                                - Once baked, carefully remove the tater skins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.

                                                  - Just before serving, drizzle any remaining honey mustard dressing over the tops and sprinkle with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.

                                                    Prep Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes | Servings: 8 halves

                                                      - Presentation Tips: Arrange the tater skins on a serving platter, garnished with additional chopped green onions and parsley for added freshness. Serve with extra honey mustard dressing on the side for dipping!
