Preheat the oven to 350F. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork, coat with 1 tsp. of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 75 to 90 minutes. When you can easily insert a fork or toothpick all the way to the middle, you're ready. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Turn off the oven and set your broiler on high. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4-inch layer still attached to the skin. Save the flesh to make gnocchi or to stir into soup as a thickener. Rub the inside of the potato with the remaining 1 tsp. of oil, salt and pepper. Place the potatoes, flesh side up, under the broiler for 1 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Remove them from the broiler, and top each of the skinz with one-quarter of the bacon bits and Cheezee sauce. Place the skinz back under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce starts to bubble and brown. Take them out of the oven and top with the tomato and scallions.
