Ingredients

6 large baking potatoes (such as russet), scrubbed
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 to 1½ tsp. chili powder
Several drops hot pepper sauce
Salt
8 slices crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled
⅔ cup finely chopped tomato
2 Tbsp. finely chopped green onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub potatoes; prick a few times with a
    fork. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until tender; cool.

    out the inside of each potato wedge, leaving a ¼-inch shell. Cover
    and chill leftover white portion of potato for another use.
  3. Line a large baking sheet with foil. In a bowl stir together oil,
    chili powder, and hot pepper sauce. Using a pastry brush, brush
    the insides of potato wedges with oil mixture. Sprinkle with salt.
    Place potato wedges in a single layer on prepared baking sheet.
    Sprinkle with bacon, tomato, and green onion; top with cheese.
  4. Bake about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve with sour
    cream.
