Delicious Cheesy Bacon and Green Onion Potato Skins image

These are easy to make and can be made hours in advance or a day ahead and chilled until ready to pop in the oven, instead of cheddar you can use a mixture of you favorite cheeses, I like using marbled mixed with the cheddar. If you are serving these as an appetizer you can use 10-12 small russet potatoes instead of large --- all ingredients may be adjusted to taste --- these are very good!

Overall, I thought these potato skins were pretty good. They were easy to make and turned out crispy and cheesy. I would definitely make them again.

The potato skins were a little too crispy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a little softer.

I found the potato skins to be a little bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more seasoning.

These potato skins were easy to make and turned out great! I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and added some chopped jalapeños for a little extra spice.
