bacon bits, sour cream and green onions for serving, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F degrees. Line a rimmed baking tray with foil.
Using a sharp knife cut multiple slits in each potato, only cutting ¾ of the way through the potato, about ⅛-inch apart. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking tray.
Combine melted butter, olive oil, seasoned salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Brush butter mixture over the potatoes and into all the slices.
Bake for 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes, pushing it into the slits of each potato. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
Serve alone or top with sour cream, bacon bits, and green onions.
Notes
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
