Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Carefully slice evenly spaced slits into each small potato, avoiding full cuts to maintain their structure.
  3. Drizzle the sliced potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
  4. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
  5. Remove from the oven, widen the slits, and insert the cheese squares into the cuts. Bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until melted.
  6. Let the potatoes cool for about 10 minutes, then prepare toppings.
  7. Dollop with sour cream, sprinkle with bacon, and finish with green onions before serving.
