Potato Skins

Creamy Cucumber Dip

Method

Potato Skins

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Potatoes

    Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel.

  3. 3

    Bake Potatoes

    Prick each potato with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.

  4. 4

    Cook Bacon

    While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  5. 5

    Prepare Potato Skins

    After the potatoes are baked, let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.

  6. 6

    Season and Oil

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

  7. 7

    Add Cheese and Bacon

    Fill each potato skin with a mixture of cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and crumbled bacon.

  8. 8

    Final Bake

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

  9. 9

    Garnish

    Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving.

Creamy Cucumber Dip

  1. 10

    Prepare Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon and chop the cucumber into small pieces.

  2. 11

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 12

    Blend and Chill

    Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.
