How to Make Potato Skins

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.
