Loaded Baked Potato
Loaded Baked Potato is American home cooking, eaten at lunch. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.

- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 4 scallions
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it
- Heat the oven to 425F, prick the potatoes all over, rub with oil and salt, and bake directly on the rack until tender, about 50 minutes.

- Split the baked potatoes and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Top with butter, cheddar, sour cream, bacon, and scallions, then season with salt and pepper.
