Loaded Baked Potato Skins

Loaded potato skins… This is one of our favorite appetizers. I use the thicker cut of bacon and men always devour them!

Step: 1

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.

Step: 2

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven.

Step: 3

When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them lengthwise and scoop out flesh to within 1/4 inch of skin. Reserve flesh for another use. Place skins back onto the baking sheet.

Step: 4

Combine olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl; brush over both sides of skins.

Step: 5

Return to the oven and bake until very crisp, about 10 minutes, turning skins halfway though.

Step: 6

Sprinkle skins with Cheddar cheese and bacon. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 2 more minutes.

Step: 7

Serve topped with sour cream and green onions.
