Recipe- Perfect For Evenings Potato Skins

These potato skins are just like you’d get in a restaurant, but better! Loaded with melted cheese, bacon, sour cream, & green onions. Add gooey, melted cheese, crisp smoky bacon, cool sour cream, and fresh green onions to that, and what more can I say?

Ingredients

4 russet potatoes
3 tablespoons oil (approx.)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch scallions, sliced

Method

- Pierce the potatoes several times with a fork and bake them in a preheated, 400 degree F oven until soft (approx. 1 1/2 to 2 hours).

- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the middles, leaving a 1/4-inch wall around the outside edge and bottom.

- Brush the potato skins with oil (outside and inside) and season with salt, then bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven until crispy and browned around the outside edge (approx. 15 to 20 minutes).

- Fill the potato skins with cheese and place back in the oven until melted & gooey (approx. 5 to 10 minutes).

- Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, top with sour cream, and garnish with green onions.
