Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 205°C.
  
  Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Brush them with canola oil and bake for 1 hour. Make sure they are cooked through.
  
  Cut the butter into slices. Place in a large bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Reduce the temperature to 180°C.
  
  Using a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape the flesh into a bowl, being careful not to tear the skin. To help the potatoes hold their shape, leave a thin layer of flesh on the skin. Place the potato cups on a baking sheet.
Step 2
• Mash the potatoes with butter, bacon, and sour cream. Add cheese, milk, salt and spices, green onions, and black pepper to taste. Mix well. (If you plan to freeze this potato mixture, omit the green onions.)
  
  Fill the potato cups with the filling. It's best to use a generous amount, heaping it. Sprinkle each potato with a little cheese and bake in the oven until heated through, about 15-20 minutes.
