Cooking instruction summary:

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.

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.
