Instructions

• 1Wash your potatoes, if necessary, and poke a few times with a knife. Place on top a microwave safe plate and microwave until mostly cooked, about 10 minutes.
• 2Preheat oven to 425 fahrenheit. Place 1 Tbsp. oil in bottom of skillet and brush a bit up the side. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with 1 tsp. of kosher salt. Place pre-cooked potatoes in to skillet and place in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until very tender. Remove skillet from oven and, using a potato masher, mash each of the potatoes until quite thin. Place a small pat of butter on top of each potato and season with salt and pepper. Brush the outside of the potatoes with the remaining 1/2 Tbsp. of oil. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes or so, until they crisp up. Remove from oven again and top with crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• 3Garnish with dollops of sour cream and sliced green onion.

NOTE:
After you microwave the potatoes, you can peel the skin and continue with the recipe if you don't want the skin on the potatoes.
