Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1¼ teaspoons seasoned salt ((such as Lawry's))
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 strips bacon, (cooked and crumbled)
- ½ cup sour cream
- chopped green onions or chopped chives, (for garnish)
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 425℉. Rub the olive oil onto the outside of the four potatoes and cut a small slit on the top of each potato. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Let the potatoes cool until they can be handled- about 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 475℉.
-
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the cooked potato, leaving a ¼-inch shell. Save the cooked potato for another use (ie. mashed potatoes, hash browns, potato pancakes, etc). Place the potato skins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, combine the butter with the Parmesan and seasoned salt. Brush the butter mixture over both sides of the skins. Bake until crisp- about 4 minutes on each side.
-
Sprinkle the cheese and bacon inside the skins. Bake until the cheese is melted- about 2 minutes longer. Drizzle with sour cream and garnish with a few onions or chives, for garnish. Serve immediately.
