We went the classic route with cheese, sour cream, and chives, but you can top these crisp and delicious potato skins any way you like.

Yield Makes 12 potato skins

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large russet potatoes (about 3 1/2 pounds)
6 slices bacon
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese
4 ounces Monterey jack cheese
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in center position.
  • Prick potatoes several times with a fork and bake until potatoes can be easily pierced with a toothpick, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Chop bacon and set aside.
  • Raise oven temperature to 450 degrees.
  • When cool enough to handle, halve potatoes lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving 1/4 inch flesh still attached to skins. Reserve scooped flesh for another use.
  • Brush both sides of skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet skin side down and bake until crisp and golden, 10 minutes.
  • Top with cheeses and bacon and return to oven 5 minutes more, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with sour cream and chives and serve immediately.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potato skins didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These potato skins are a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not a big fan of potato skins, but I have to say, these were pretty good. I would definitely make them again.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan cheese and sour cream. It worked out great!

These potato skins are the perfect way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I always have a batch in the freezer, so I can make these potato skins anytime I want.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for, and it turned out great. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite.

I added some chopped green onions to the sour cream mixture. It gave the potato skins a nice fresh flavor.

I'm not a fan of sour cream, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It worked out great!
