📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400˚. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Rub with the vegetable oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and bake until soft in the center, about ⏱️ 1 hour.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to cool, then crumble. Leave the drippings in the skillet.

Heat the bacon drippings over medium-low heat. Add the onions and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; stir. Cover and cook, stirring once, until the onions are translucent, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until very soft and deeply golden, about 5 more minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, thyme and garlic and cook until fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add the beef broth and cook until the liquid evaporates and the onions are caramelized, about ⏱️ 5 minutes.

Halve the potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh and add it to a large bowl, being careful not to tear the skins. Add the milk, sour cream, butter and remaining ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper to the bowl and mash with a potato masher to combine. Fold in the crumbled bacon, caramelized onions, 1 cup of the cheddar and 4 sliced green onions.
