Yield 8 Skins, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 -2 tablespoon butter (do not substitute margarine)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or regular table salt)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 -8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 -8 green onions, sliced
2 cups sour cream

Steps:

Bake potatoes in the microwave for 10 minutes; turn over and bake another 5-8 minutes until baked through (test with a toothpick). Set aside to cool.
Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.
Beat eggs in a bowl; add water; beat a little more. Add eggs to skillet and scramble until done. Set aside.
Once potatoes have cooled enough to be handled, cut them lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/4 inch layer of pulp in the skins; discard pulp (or save/use for something else).
Place skins upside down (skin side up) on a greased baking sheet.
Combine oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl; brush all over each skin.
Bake at 475 degrees for about 8 minutes; remove baked skins from oven.
Turn the skins over and fill each one with scrambled eggs and sprinkle cheese on top.
Return to oven long enough to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
Remove from oven and add salsa, sour cream, bacon and green onions, or whatever other toppings you like. (Add the salsa first and then the sour cream so that other toppings will 'stick" to the sour cream.).

Tips:

Choose high-quality potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or russets, which have a firm texture and will hold their shape well when baked.
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly before baking to remove any dirt or debris.
Poke the potatoes with a fork several times before baking to help them cook evenly.
Bake the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour.
Let the potatoes cool slightly before cutting them in half and scooping out the flesh, making sure to leave a thin layer of potato flesh around the edges.
Fill the potato skins with your favorite fillings, such as eggs, bacon, cheese, or vegetables.
Bake the potato skins again until the fillings are heated through and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
Serve the potato skins immediately, garnished with additional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
