- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Remove from the oven and top with sour cream and green onions.
Notes
Serve these tasty bites hot, straight from the oven. They make a great appetizer or snack. Use a sharp knife for easy slicing. Try using different types of cheese or toppings like jalapeños or avocado for a fun twist. Be sure not to cut all the way through the potato for the best texture.
