Scrub potatoes and pierce each with a fork. Bake in a preheated 400F oven until soft; about 1 hour. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out centers, leaving a 1/4 inch shell. Reserve removed potato for another use. Cut potato halves lengthwise. Spray potato shells with butter flavored spray, then place on a large baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 500F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until brown and crisp. Sprinkle evenly with cheese, bacon bits and green onion. Return to 400F oven for 3 minutes longer to melt cheese.Makes 6 servings.
