Baked Texas Roadhouse Potato Skins Recipes

(BAKED) TEXAS ROADHOUSE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and then bake them until they are tender (in the microwave is a huge time saver). Otherwise, bake at 400 for about one hour.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them in half lengthwise.
• Preheat your oven to broil.
• Spread the olive oil evenly on a baking sheet and sprinkle the coarse salt evenly on the oil.
• Lay the potato halves (skin side down) on the salt.
• Top the potatoes evenly with the cheddar and then with the bacon crumbles (a pinch each per potato).
• Broil the potatoes for 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
• Slice the potatoes in half, again lengthwise.
• Top evenly with the BBQ sauce and then the Ranch; garnish with the green onion.
• Season with a little more coarse salt and then serve immediately.

HOW TO MAKE TEXAS ROADHOUSE TATER SKIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Scrub each potato to remove dirt. Since eating the skin is part of the dish's charm, it is critical to get all parts of the skin squeaky clean.
• Rub the outside of each potato with vegetable oil.
• Bake potatoes in the oven for an hour.
• Remove potatoes from oven and allow them to cool for 15 minutes.
• In a bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, oregano and thyme.
• Stir the spice mixture until well combined.
• Slice each potato in half.
• Scoop out part of the inside of the potato to allow room for toppings. Leave at least 1/4-inch border to prevent the potatoes becoming too crispy.
• Increase the temperature of you oven to 450°F.
• Place potatoes skin-side down and sprinkle inside of potatoes with spice mixture.
• Bake for about 10 minutes.
• Flip the potatoes, season again, then bake for another 10 minutes.
• Flip potatoes so the skin side is down again. Fill each half with sharp shredded cheddar cheese and top with bacon bits.
• Broil for about 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
• Remove the potatoes once the cheese is bubbly, then plate immediately.
• Top with sour cream, or serve it on the side.
• Comment: The secret of the Texas Roadhouse Tater Skins is a delicate balance between a slightly crisp outside and a soft, fluffy potato inside. You can easily alter this recipe to include your favorite types of cheeses. Consider using a Mexican blend for a nice treat. Opt for freshly prepared bacon bits rather than pre-packaged varieties for the best flavor. For an extra spicy kick, drizzle your favorite hot sauce over the top, or add a bit of Cayenne pepper to spice the blend.
