Loaded Potato Skins

Posted on July 9, 2013by Dana DeVolk

Hi everyone! I have this very simple recipe for you all today that will knock your socks off! Loaded potato skins. OH YEAH! Whenever Jeremy and I go out to dinner we often get an appetizer and there is always cheese on it. Cheese is our favorite. We normally get cheese fries or potato skins so on the 4th I wanted to make these for a nice treat. And wow, they were amazing!

Ingredients

3 each Baking Potatos

2 Tbls Butter, melted

4 each Bacon Strips

1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/2 Cup Sour Cream

1 each Green onion, for garnish

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

These are so easy I made a little diagram for ya to show the steps!

1. Bake off your potatoes. These medium sized potatoes took 1 hours at 400 degrees. Make sure to scrub them real good under running water first to get all the dirt off them. Yuckie.

2. Cut in half and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Save the insides for something else like mashed potatoes or potato cakes!

3. Cut them into 4th’s and brush with melted butter and season with salt and pepper to your taste.

4. Cut the bacon into 1/2 strips and fry until crispy.

5. Place the skins in an oven safe dish and top with the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is just melted. Top with the sour cream then the bacon. Add the green onions finely sliced for garnish if you prefer!

See how easy that was?! WOW and YUMMMM! I hope you enjoyed this recipe! Dig in!
