Bake 4 large baking potatoes until soft.

Remove potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Cut each potato in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl.

Add 1 stick of butter to the hot potato insides and mash them together.

Pour in approximately 3/4 cup of half and half and continue mashing until combined.

Add in 1/2 cup of sour cream and mix well.

Season with salt and granulated garlic to taste.

Stir in leftover cheeses (Havarti, Monterey Jack, and cheddar) and chopped scallions.

Crumble cooked bacon into the mixture and stir to combine.

Transfer the potato mixture back into the baking dish.

Top with additional scallions, crumbled bacon, and more cheese (cheddar and Parmesan).

Bake in the oven until heated through and cheese is melted.
