Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 bacon slices (6 ounces)
1/2 cup sliced white parts of scallions plus 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallion greens (from 1 bunch)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 medium russet (baking) potatoes (2 1/2 pounds)
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
Special Equipment
12-inch-wide heavy-duty foil

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.
