Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes:

2. Bake Until Crispy:
- Place cooked potatoes in a muffin tin and use a small container (like a dipping sauce cup) to press down, creating a hollow center.
- Brush with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes until the edges become slightly crispy.
3. Load Them Up:
- Sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled bacon into each potato cup.
- Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted.
4. Top & Serve:
- Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Try adding jalapeños, hot sauce, or ranch drizzle for extra flavor.
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack or gouda for a twist.
- These reheat well in the air fryer for a crispy texture.
