BENNIGAN'S POTATO SKINS RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Wash potatoes very well, score them with a knife and bake in an oven for one hour. 3. Remove potatoes and allow them to cool, so that you can handle them. 4. When potatoes are cool, cut them in half and scoop out the "meat" of the potato. Be sure to leave at least 1/4″ inch of meat on the skin. 5. Spray a baking dish with Pam and place the scooped out halves in the pan. 6. Sprinkle the potatoes with cheese, and bacon. 7. Place the potatoes in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. 8. Remove from oven. Chop the tops of the green onion off, and sprinkle them on the potatoes. Serve with sour cream.

HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch on the skin. Brush canola oil all over the potato skins, outside and inside, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve flesh for another use.
• Bake skins in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Arrange the potato skins flesh-side up on a roasting pan or rack. Sprinkle the insides with pepper, Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin and sprinkle with green onions.
