Scoop Out the Flesh
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out most of the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin. Save the scooped-out potato for another use.

Season and Bake Again
Brush the insides of the potato skins with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the skins cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until crispy.

Add Toppings
Flip the potato skins over and fill each skin with cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped bacon. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
