I think I found a great, easy potato skin recipe!  We just love these!  They were great on Super Bowl Sunday!!


Ingredients
6-8 small/medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Grapeseed oil

green onions, sliced


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and rub potatoes with oil.
  3. Bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour until cooked.
  4. When potatoes are done, allow to cool a bit and slice horizontally.  
  5. Hollow out potatoes and save potatoes for another use.  Leave about 1/4 inch of potato to skin.
  6. Increase heat to oven to 450 degrees.
  7. Place baking rack on cookie sheet or roasting pan. 
  8. Rub oil on potatoes and season with salt.  Place on rack skin side up.

  10. Increase to broil setting.
  11. Sprinkle potatoes with bacon and cheese. 
  12. Broil about 2 minutes, until cheese melts.
  13. Sprinkle with sour cream and green onions and serve!
