Start by cleaning 8 russet potatoes with apple cider vinegar and warm water for about 5 minutes to loosen dirt and kill bacteria.

Dry the potatoes and lay them on a pan lined with parchment paper.

Stab holes in the potatoes with a fork and spread olive oil over them evenly.

Place the potatoes in a 400°F oven for 45 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Dice and fry some bacon, then mix it with cheese and green onion while the potatoes bake.

Once the potatoes are out of the oven, let them cool for about 10 minutes before chopping them into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, combine the chopped potatoes with sour cream, cream cheese, softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, mixing well for about 2 minutes.

Grease the bottom of an oven-safe dish with olive oil and evenly place the potato mixture in it.

Pour the cheese, bacon, and onion mixture over the potatoes and spread it evenly.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a 350°F oven for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the cheese.
