Potato Skins

By AllisonClayman

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• Melted Butter
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
• Scallions
• Bacon
• Sour Cream
• Jalepenos for heat, cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion etc.

Preparation

Step 1

Top a tater to match your favorite team:
Pierce 4 large russet potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350 degrees until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin-side up, at 450 degrees until crisp, about 15 minutes. Add your favorite team toppings. (For cheesy skins, flip the baked shells over before topping, sprinkle with 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.)
