"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Scrub potatoes and set aside to dry. Tear 6 to 7 sheets of aluminum foil to fit potatoes. Place potatoes in center of foil and pour small amount of vegetable oil on each potato. Sprinkle each potato with salt and massage each potato with oil & salt.
Bake @ 350º for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or insert a knife into the potato to check for doneness.

Remove potatoes from oven and unwrap from foil to cool. Cool about 15 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and separate. Scoop out potato and place in a large mixing bowl, reserve potato shells. Mash potatoes slightly (you don't want mashed potatoes, you'll want a few lumps). Add butter and seasonings and mix well. Add sour cream and 4 cups of the cheese and mix well with a wooden spoon to prevent over mixing. At this point, you can add the bacon and green onions if desired. Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Cover with a sheet of foil and bake @ 350º for approximately 20 minutes or until cheese starts to melt. Remove from oven and place remaining 2 cups of cheese on top of potatoes and return to oven to melt cheese, approximatly 5 - 10 minutes.
