Potato Skins

1. 1

   Wash all of your potatoes then prick them all over with a fork.

2. 2

   Place on a foil lined cookie sheet and bake in a pre-heated 375F degree oven for about an hour, or until a knife inserted in the middle of the potato comes right out.

3. 3

   Once done, remove potatoes to a cutting board and slice each down the middle, and scoop out most of the potato, but leave a good rim around the edge and bottom, just enough to where you dont completely go down to the skin.

4. 4

   Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot, then place potatoes in the oil and fry until they turn golden brown, then remove to a paper towel lined cutting board.

5. 5

   When done, let potatoes cool while you dice your bacon and cook it in a frying pan until it is nice and chewy.

6. 6

   Place your potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet and then sprinkle cheese down the middle of the potato, then sprinkle bacon pieces on top.

7. 7

   Bake in a pre-heated 350F degree oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese is completely melted, then turn the oven to broil on high for about 5 more minutes to brown it.

8. 8

   Garnish with sour cream, ranch dressing, chives or whatever!
