Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash the potatoes then poke holes throughout them with a fork or knife. Place into the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until fork tender and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let them cool but don't turn off the oven. Make the caramelized onions while the potatoes are baking. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring often, for 30-45 minutes, or until caramelized and golden brown. Side Note: If the skillet gets dry, add a tablespoon of water or two to prevent the onions from burning. Season with sea salt, to taste then remove from the skillet and set aside. When potatoes are done cooking, allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl; set the empty potatoes halves on a baking sheet. Add cup the cheese, sour cream, bacon, caramelized onions, green onions, butter, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Mix thoroughly then you can either divide the potato mixture evenly between all eight of the potato skin halves or discard a couple of the halves and make six heaping potato halves. Sprinkle the tops of each potato equally with the remaining cheese and some crispy fried onions, to taste. Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
