Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. Yukon Gold and Russet potatoes are both good choices for potato skins. Yukon Golds are a bit creamier, while Russets are a bit more starchy. You can also use a mix of both types of potatoes.
  • Scrub the potatoes well before baking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help to prevent the potatoes from bursting in the oven.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender. The potatoes should be cooked through, but not too soft. You can check the potatoes by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center. If the toothpick or skewer comes out clean, the potatoes are done.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling. This will help to prevent the potatoes from breaking apart.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin border around the edge of the potato skin.
  • Fill the potato skins with your favorite toppings. You can use anything from cheese and bacon to chili and sour cream. Get creative and have fun!
  • Bake the potato skins until the toppings are melted and bubbly. The potato skins should be hot and crispy.
  • Serve the potato skins immediately. Potato skins are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
