Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean, then pierce each potato several times with a fork.
Wrapping potatoes in foil can help them cook evenly.Bake the Potatoes
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
Test with a fork; it should easily slide in.Prepare the Skins
Once baked, let the potatoes cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato.
Save the scooped out potato for another use, like mashed potatoes.Add Fillings
Sprinkle the insides of the potato skins with garlic powder and black pepper. Fill each skin with cooked sausage, cheese, and green onions.
Pack the fillings tightly for a hearty bite.Bake Again
Return the filled potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with sour cream before serving.
