Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Pierce each potato with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 3
Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 40-45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes, or until they're safe to handle.
Step 5
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4-inch of potato attached to the skin. Reserve the scooped-out potato for another use (like mashed potatoes).
Step 6
Place the potato skins on a baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the insides of the skins with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Return the potato skins to the oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to crisp up.
Step 8
Remove the skins from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the insides of the skins.
Step 9
Place the potato skins back in the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Take the potato skins out of the oven. Top each one with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade TGI Friday's style potato skins!
