Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350°; spray rimmed baking pan with cooking spray. Cut potatoes lengthwise in half; place cut side down on prepared pan. Bake 45 minutes or until tender; cool slightly.
In large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until crisp, stirring occasionally; transfer to paper towel-lined plate.
Drain drippings from skillet. Add butter; melt over low heat. Add yellow onions, ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons water; cover and cook 10 minutes. Uncover; cook 7 minutes or until very soft, stirring occasionally.
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, with spoon, leaving at least a ¼-inch wall, scoop out inside portion of each potato half into large bowl; return potato halves, skin side down, to same pan. With fork, mash potatoes in bowl until small lumps remain. Fold in sour cream, bacon, caramelized onions, and remaining ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spoon potato mixture into potato halves; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and potatoes are heated through.
Serve potatoes drizzled with balsamic glaze; garnish with green onions, if desired.
