- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- Sprinkle of salt & black pepper

Directions
To make Twice-Baked Potatoes with Bacon Jam
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and rub into the skin of the potatoes until thoroughly covered in oil and seasoning.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes. Remove and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Length-wise, slice the top 1/3 off the potatoes off.
- Using a large spoon, hollow out the inside of the potatoes into a large bowl and set the skins aside.
- Mix in the butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, most of the green onions, and the bacon jam. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop the potato mixture back into the hollowed out-skins.
- If desired, top with an extra sprinkle of cheese, and place back into the oven, baking for an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Garnish the baked potatoes with the rest of the green onions and an extra dollop of bacon jam.
