Pierce the potatoes and microwave them on high for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, then drain and crumble it.
Halve the potatoes, scoop out most of the centers, and brush the shells with oil, parmesan, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.
Bake the shells cut-side down at 450 F for 5 minutes, then turn them over.
Fill the shells with cheddar and bacon, bake for 4 minutes, and top with sour cream and sliced green onions.
