My sweet daughter asked me to make this recipe tonight and I was so glad she did! These potato skins were excellent! A crispy outside, tender inside, filled with bubbly cheese and topped with bacon and chives. What is not to love?
I’m quite certain this little “Angle of Love” (that’s what I call her) has “checked out” this library book “Cookbook for Girls” a 100 times over the course of 3 years. I think it’s time we buy it. She just loves it!
Wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Cover potatoes in oil. Bake for 1 hour in a 400 degrees oven.
We always grate our own cheese because it’s so much creamier! None of those additives that pre-shredded cheese have in them.
She loves her cookbook 🙂
When potatoes have baked for an hour, let them cool for about 10-15 mins. Slice in half and take out some of the innards. I actually leave a little more than most people would. Fill the skins with cheese and top with bacon. Bake in a 400 oven for an additional 10 mins until bubbling.
Top with scallions and serve with sour cream! Easy peasy.
