Instructions
Bake Potatoes:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.Wash and dry each potato. Using a fork, poke through the skin of each potato 8 to 10 times. Rub a light coat of olive oil, cooking oil, or shortening over each potato.
- Place potatoes on middle rack of oven. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch drippings. Bake for 1 hour.
Potato Skins:
- Cool potatoes on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes. Cut each potato in half. Scoop out some of the center, leaving about a 1/2 inch layer of potato.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the potatoes all over with melted butter. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and broil on high for about 4 to 6 minutes. The skins should turn golden brown.
- Divide the cheese and bacon crumbles evenly to the scooped side of the 12 potato skins. Broil again for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve hot with one or several dipping sauces.
Dipping sauce options:
- Sour cream and chives: Mix 1 cup sour cream with 1 tablespoon chives. Chill 1 hour before serving.
- Ranch dressing: Your favorite ranch dressing or our Homemade Ranch Dressing.
- Sour cream and salsa: Mix 2/3 cup sour cream with 1/3 cup salsa. Chill 1 hour before serving.
