 Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes. Place the potatoes on the sheet pan.

 In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, butter, salt and pepper.

 Brush the olive oil mixture all over the potatoes, making sure to get some in between the slices.

 Bake for 50-60 minutes until potatoes are tender and browned.

 Remove the potatoes from the oven; let them cool for 5 minutes.

 Insert the cheddar cheese slices in between each cut of the potatoes.

 Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

 Top each potato with a dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle the bacon and green onions over the top. Serve immediatey.
