Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and pierce them with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once baked, allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Cut them in half lengthwise and gently scoop out some of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch thick skins.
- Brush the insides of the potato skins with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the potato halves skin-side down on a baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and fill each skin with a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the potato skins warm and enjoy.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
