Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; toss to coat them evenly. Place the potatoes on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until fork-tender. Allow the potatoes to cool for 10 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle.

Turn the oven up to 450 degrees. Cut each potato in half lengthwise then using a small spoon scoop out the potato flesh from the center, leaving about 1/8-inch on the skin walls. Reserve potato flesh for another recipe such as mashed potatoes or gnocchi.

Brush olive oil all over each potato half then season the insides with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Place the potato halves cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip them over and continue to bake for 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and place some cheese in the center of each potato skin then bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted & bubbling. Top with bacon bits then add a dollop of sour cream & some green onions. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
