Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.

Prick each potato several times with a fork.

Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, until tender.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

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

Mash the potato insides with butter, sour cream, milk, and seasonings until smooth.

Stir in cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon until well combined.

Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins, mounding it slightly.

Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese on top of each filled potato.

Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until golden and heated through.

Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
