Baked Potatoes

• 2-3 medium potatoes per person
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• Salt/Pepper
• Shredded cheese
• Crumbled bacon
• Green Onions (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF
2. Scrub the potatoes and poke holes around the skin
3. Bake for 1½ hours
4. Remove from oven and slice down one side of the potato but not completely in half
5. Pull the sides of the potato open gently and brush the butter inside the opening
6. Sprinkle some salt and pepper into the opening 
7. (Alternatively, mix the salt/pepper with the melted butter so when it is brushed on, it spreads evenly over the potato.)
8. Put some shredded cheese into the opening, packing it down and add the crumbled bacon
9. Continue baking until cheese is melted.
10. Sprinkle on some green onions as a topping (optional)
