Baked Potato Skins
Method
Preparation
- 1
Bake the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes under running water and dry them with a paper towel. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork. Rub olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with salt. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Scoop and Fill
Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin. Brush the insides with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place them back on the baking sheet.

Add Cheese and Bacon
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses evenly inside each potato skin. Top with the crumbled bacon.

Bake Again
Return the potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve
Remove the potato skins from the oven, let them cool slightly, and then serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
