Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wash and scrub your potatoes, and pierce each a few times with a fork or knife.
- Pat dry, then rub each spud with a little olive oil.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes, until tender inside.
- Allow potatoes to cool a bit, then slice each in half and scoop out the centers into a bowl. Save that fluffy goodness for some cheater mashed potatoes or another tasty recipe!
- Switch oven to BROIL on HIGH.
- Brush some olive oil on each side of the potatoes. Place potatoes skin side up on your baking sheet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.Broil for 2-3 minutes, then flip (skin-side down) and broil for another 2-3 minutes until golden crispy.
- Use oven mits to safely remove tray from oven and switch OFF.
- Top potato skins with grated cheddar cheese, sliced jalapeño peppers, and crumbled cooked bacon.
- Return to oven until melty (just a few minutes!), top with chopped green onion, then dive in with a sour cream for dunking. Enjoy!
FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS
- After toppings are added to the potato skins, allow to cool completey. Freeze on a parchment lined plate or baking sheet until fully frozen.
- Once frozen, transfer the frozen skins to a baggie or airtight container.
- When you’re ready to make them, Place frozen skin in a 400 F preheated oven and bake for 10-20 minutes or until the skins are cripsy and the cheese has melted.
Notes
- I typically pick up a bag of russet potatoes for appetizers since they're much smaller than the a la carte bin-o-potatoes.
- Love pickled peppers? Feel free to use pickled jalapeños in place of fresh if you prefer!
