Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Assembling the Loaded Skins
Cut and Scoop
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out a portion of the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin.
Add Toppings
Brush the inside of each potato skin with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet. Fill each skin with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
Bake Again
Return the loaded potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
Serve with Sour Cream
Remove the potato skins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with a side of sour cream for dipping.
