Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Wash and dry the potatoes.

Prick each potato generously all over with a fork. We don't want those puppies exploding in the oven. They need to breathe - it's hot in there!

Place on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a fork is easily inserted into them.

Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and remove sheet from oven and allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, place the pieces of butter, 1/2 cup of the cheese, cream cheese, yogurt, Old Bay seasoning, pepper and bacon.

Using a serrated knife and holding the potato with an oven mitt (as it may still be a...HOT potato!), Slice the potato in half lengthwise.

With a spoon, scoop out each half of the potato into the mixing bowl, leaving just enough on the inside to support the skin and being careful to not make holes.

Place the 8 halves onto the baking sheet.

With a potato masher (or you can use a mixer), mix all the ingredients together until they're well incorporated.

Evenly divide the mixture between the 8 potato halves.

Place into the 350 degree F. oven to bake for 10 minutes or until heated through.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Garnish with green onions.
