  Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out about most of the potato flesh, leaving a thick border all the way around the shells. Transfer the potato flesh to a bowl.

  Gently mash the potato flesh with a fork, then add the melted butter, sour cream, and 1/2 cup cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

  Fill the potato skins with the mashed potato mixture, then sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheese and the bacon on top.
