  3. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly for about 10 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the scooped potato with butter, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy.
  5. Spoon the creamy mixture back into the emptied potato skins, heaping it generously.
