Potatoe Skins

A super treat for that football game, or a great side for a cookout.

Time:

• Cooking: ~35 Minutes

• Russet potatoes

• Center-cut bacon, or bacon bits.

• Olive oil

• Salt & pepper

• Shredded cheddar cheese

○ Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch on the skin.

○ Brush olive oil all over the potato skins, inside and out, then sprinkle with salt.

Note: Reserve the scooped potato flesh for another use.

○ Bake skins for 10 minutes on a pan. Flip and bake 10 minutes more.

○ Remove from oven and arrange potato skins flesh-side up in the pan.
