Cheese and Bacon Potato Skins: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 10


  • Author: Sophia Turner
  • Total Time: 23 minute

Ingredients

– 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
– ¼ cup sour cream (for serving)
– 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)
– Optional: additional cheese or toppings


Instructions

Creating Cheese and Bacon Potato Skins is quite simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry.
3. Pierce and Season: Use a fork to pierce each potato several times. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
4. Bake Potatoes: Place potatoes directly on the oven rack or on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until fork-tender.
5. Let Cool: Remove potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly until they are easy to handle.
6. Cut and Scoop: Carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out a portion of the flesh, creating a shell, and leave a little potato for structure.
7. Add Cheese and Bacon: Fill each potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Place them back on the baking sheet.
8. Second Bake: Return the loaded potato skins to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with chopped green onions and serve with sour cream.

These straightforward instructions will lead you to crispy, flavorful Potato Skins that everyone will love.
