Potato Skins

Toppings

Method

Preparation of Potato Skins

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

3

Bake the Potatoes

Prick each potato several times with a fork, then rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

4

Cool and Scoop

Once the potatoes are baked, let them cool for about 10 minutes. Carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato in the skin.

Baking and Topping

5

Prepare the Skins

Brush the insides of the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

6

Bake the Skins

Place the potato skins on a baking sheet, cut side up, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy.

7

Add Toppings

Remove the potato skins from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly inside each skin, followed by crumbled bacon.

8

Melt the Cheese

Return the loaded potato skins to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Once the cheese is melted, remove from the oven and top with chopped green onions. Serve hot with a side of sour cream for dipping.
