Day 31 – Potato Skins

They are delicious, kids love them, they are a great finger food and easy to throw in the freezer and heat up. You can make these days in advance, weeks for that matter, just heat and serve. The ingredients listed below are basic which allows you to add your favorite topping…chili, jalapenos, etc.


Day 31 – Potato Skins


4 large Russet Potatoes

4 Tbsp. melted butter

2 c. grated cheddar cheese

½ c. green onions

¼ c. crisp bacon, diced

Salt and pepper to taste


Pierce 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 grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.


Enjoy!
