Instructions:
Prep and Bake the Potato: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Thoroughly wash the potato and prick several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
Prepare Toppings: While the potato is baking, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble. Shred the cheddar cheese and chop the green onions.
Assemble the Loaded Potato: Once the potato is baked, make a slit along the top and fluff the inside with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff with shredded cheese, allowing it to melt inside the hot potato. Top with sour cream, crumbled bacon, a drizzle of barbecue sauce, and sprinkle with green onions.
Serve Immediately: Enjoy this decadently loaded potato as a hearty side dish or a satisfying main course!
