Scrub and pierce potatoes; microwave for 5 minutes. Turn and cook until tender, an additional 5 minutes. Halve lengthwise and scoop out flesh, reserving skins.
In a skillet, cook cabbage, onion, and bacon over medium heat for 10 minutes until softened and cooked. Add milk, butter, seasoning, potato flesh, and ½ cup Cheddar. Mash lightly for 5 minutes until milk is absorbed.
Refill potato skins with the mixture; top with remaining Cheddar. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, until hot and bubbling.
