- Preheat oven to 475°F (240°C).

- Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the potato skins.
- Bake for 7 minutes.
- Flip the potato skins.
- Bake for another 7 minutes, or until the skins are crispy.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup cooked bacon crumbles and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese inside each skin.
- Return to the oven and bake for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top with a dollop of sour cream and chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
