Baked Potato Skins
Ingredients
- ▢6 small baking potatoes
- ▢2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ▢½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ▢¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- ▢¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ▢3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled, or 3 tablespoons bacon bits
- ▢2 tablespoons sliced green onions or chives
- ▢1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ▢sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Scrub the potatoes and poke each potato with a fork 5-6 times. Place them directly on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let cool until the potatoes are easy to handle.
- To Prepare Potato Skins
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh leaving a ¼-inch thick shell.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, parsley, seasoned salt, and garlic powder. Brush the inside and outside of the potatoes with the butter mixture.
- Place potatoes cut side down in a baking dish or 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip potatoes over and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until slightly browned and crisp.
- Fill each potato with cheese and bacon. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, top with green onion and serve with sour cream.
