Preheat oven to 400℉.
Wash and pat potatoes dry.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place potatoes spread evenly apart.
Using a fork, prick holes into the potatoes on all 4 sides.
Pour olive oil, salt, and pepper over each potato. Then rub each potato with both hands to spread oil, salt, and pepper evenly.
Place in oven and let bake for 1 hour then remove.
While potato is baking in oven, cook bacon to desire and cut into small strips.
Using a knife and spoon, carve out the inside of potato like a canoe and place scooped potato inside large mixing bowl. Place potato canoes back into the oven to bake for another 10 minutes.
In scooped potato bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. Then add in bacon bits, melted butter, sour cream, buttermilk, and mix together.
Pack potato canoes with filling tightly. Filling will rise above canoe. Sprinkle more cheese on top and place back into oven for 5-10 minutes.
Remove and enjoy!
