Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 slices bacon (6 ounces)
1/2 cup sliced white parts scallion, plus
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion top (from 1 bunch)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 medium russet potatoes, potatoes (baking, 2 1/2 pounds)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until browned and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain, then carefully transfer drippings from skillet to a small heatproof bowl and stir in white parts of scallions, salt, and pepper.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Tear off 6 (1-foot-long) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
  • Make deep crosswise cuts in potatoes 1/4 inch apart, leaving bottom 1/4 inch intact (do not cut all the way through).
  • Place each potato on a sheet of foil and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon bacon-dripping mixture, separating slices to allow some to drip into cuts.
  • Gather up foil around potatoes, crimping foil to tightly enclose.
  • Roast potatoes until tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Just before serving, stir together sour cream and scallion greens and crumble bacon over mixture.
  • Carefully open foil packets and transfer packets to a platter.
  • Serve potatoes with sour-cream topping.
