Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, then coat the foil with cooking spray.

Brush the olive oil mixture all over the potatoes, making sure to get some in between the slices.

Step 6

Bake for 50-60 minutes until potatoes are tender and browned.

Step 7

Step 8

Insert the cheddar cheese slices in between each cut of the potatoes.

Step 9

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Step 10

Top each potato with a dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle the bacon and green onions over the top. Serve immediately.
