Step 1: Potatoes ... Wash your potato good, then cut your potato lengthwise creating a top and bottom piece. Using a fork or knife, poke the top half of the potato several times. This will allow some of the bacon drippings to get into the potato.
Step 2: Onions and Bacon ... Season the bottom half of the potato with salt and pepper, then, lay down 3 onion slices, and season once again; finally top with the other half of the potato. To keep the top and bottom together so the onion slices don't fall out, secure with a couple of toothpicks. Wrap the bacon slices around the potato to hold everything together. It will take 3 or 4 slices depending on the size of your potato.
Step 3: Bake ... Oven at 350 degrees, middle shelf. I prefer to use a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, but you could use foil or a baking rack too. Approximately 1 hour, it will depend on the size of the potato.
Step 4: Serve ... Sour cream or cheese on the side, ENJOY!
