• Place shells, skin-sides down, on baking sheet; brush insides of shells lightly with oil. Bake 15 min. or until golden brown.

SUPER EASY POTATOE SKINS

Steps:

• Pre-heat the broiler on your oven.
• Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
• Poke the potato 4-6 times with a fork to let moisture out during "baking".
• OPTIONAL: Rub butter on the out side of the potato and season with garlic, salt, pepper, or what ever seasoning you would like to give it a little extra flavor.
• Put the potatoes on a plate and put cook in the microwave for 10 minutes.
• While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon. I did it in the broiler to save on an extra pan and keep it easy. Just keep an eye on it so they don't burn. I just laid the bacon out on my broiler pan and put it right under the broiler.
• Once the potatoes are done, take them out and slice them in half.
• Use a spoon to scoop out a little of the inside to form a small shallow "bowl" with the potato.
• Chop the cooked bacon and sprinkle some in each of the potato "bowls" I plan for appx one slice per potato half.
• Next, Sprinkle cheese over the potatoes. I say 1/2 cup for 4 halves just as a general guess. You can go light or go heavy, how ever you prefer.
• Put the potatoes on a broiler pan, if you used one for the bacon, or even just a cookie sheet.
• Put the pan directly under the broiler and cook until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
• Remove from oven.
• Top with desired amount of sour cream and serve.
• Optional: you can sprinkle fresh chives or green onion on top after the sour cream.

HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch on the skin. Brush canola oil all over the potato skins, outside and inside, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve flesh for another use.
• Bake skins in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Arrange the potato skins flesh-side up on a roasting pan or rack. Sprinkle the insides with pepper, Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin and sprinkle with green onions.

SAVORY POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Scrub potatoes; pierce several times with a fork. Place on a greased baking sheet; bake until tender, 1-1-1/4 hours. Cool slightly., Cut each potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells (save pulp for another use)., Cut each half shell lengthwise into quarters; return to baking sheet. Brush insides with butter. Mix seasonings; sprinkle over butter., Broil 4-5 in. from heat until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. If desired, mix sour cream and chives and serve with potato skins.

SUPER BOWL SUPER STUFF'D N' CRISPY POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Bake the potatoes until tender (I bought the micorwavable kind, you may bake them though). Let potatoes cool. In a medium size bowl mix the Sour Cream, Baccon, Shredded Cheese, Salt, Pepper. Refridgerate for 10-15 minute Take the potatoes half them, and then fourth them. Scoop almost all the potato flesh out with a spoon, I like to leave a little so it's more like a french fry, but it dosnt really matter.
• While the filling is in the fridge, heat your oil (I have a fryer) to about 350 degrees. Once the oil is hot drop the skins into fryer or pan. Cook the skins until crispy (5-8 mins). Once done place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb grease.
• Take out the filling and preheat the oven to "Broiler" Get a baking sheet and fill the skins with the filling, don't put too much or all the filling will come out. Broil the potato skins until the filling is hot and goey. If you want, garnish with green onion.

LOADED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the baking potatoes on a baking tray. Prick all over with a fork and rub with a little oil. Cook potatoes in oven for 1 hr until golden and cooked all the way through. Remove from oven. Allow potatoes to cool for 15 mins.
• While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tsp oil in a medium frying pan and fry the bacon for 5-8 mins until crisp. Leave to cool, then transfer to a board and finely chop.
• Cut the slightly cooled potatoes in half and scoop the flesh from the skin into a large bowl, leaving a little around the edges. Put the skins back on the baking tray, scooped side up.
• Mash the potato flesh and soured cream together using a fork or masher. Stir in the cooled bacon, most of the spring onion or chives and half of the cheddar. Season to taste.
• Divide the potato mixture evenly between the cavities of the potato skins. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over each filled potato half. Return the potatoes to the oven for 20 mins until golden and bubbling.
• Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion or chives and serve hot.
