Slice potatoes in halves lengthwise and then dig out the center, leaving about 1/2 inch of potato on the side. Line potato skins next to each other on a baking sheet. Brush both the top and bottom with butter.
Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes flipping once. Remove from oven. Load potato skins with bacon and cheddar cheese. Bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Lightly sprinkle with salt if desired, and then top with green onions. Serve with sour cream and enjoy!
