  2. Step 2: Scrub the russet potatoes clean under running water and pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Place the pierced potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

  5. Step 5: Add melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to the scooped potato flesh and mix until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Fold in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and half of the chopped green onions into the potato mixture.
  7. Step 7: Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, topping each with the remaining cheese and bacon.
  8. Step 8: Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
