Microwave 2 potatoes on high, 6-8 min, flipping halfway through (caution, that's a hot potato!); carefully cut in slit in each, mash slightly + top each with salt/pep + 1 tsp oil (or butter)

Meanwhile, heat skillet over medium; add bacon + cook, flipping frequently, until browned + cooked through, 4-6 min; let cool slightly + crumble into bite-size pieces

Wash scallions, thinly slice crosswise + discard roots; pour ½ cup cheese into a small pot + heat over med-low, 2-3 min; mix thoroughly

Pour cheese over potatoes then top with bacon + sliced scallions
