These crispy potato skins are baked in the oven till golden brown and topped with melty cheese, crispy bacon and sour cream!
Ingredients
- 6 small baking potatoes
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- ½ tsp parsley, dried
- ¼ tsp seasoned salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- ½ cup bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
- ½ cup sour cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Wash and dry the potatoes, then use a fork to pierce them multiple times. Place the potatoes directly on the rack in your oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, until fork tender.
- Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half length-wise and use a spoon to scoop out the insides, leaving a ¼” shell.
- Combine the melted butter, parsley, seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper and use a pastry brush to brush both sides of the potatoes.
- Place the potato skins, cut-side down on a rimmed baking sheet and continue baking at 425 degrees F. for another 15 minutes. Carefully flip the potato skins over and bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the potato skins from the oven, fill each with shredded cheese and bacon, then finish baking for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and sour cream. Enjoy!
