Hello everybody, it’s Jim, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we’re going to make a special dish, potato skins. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a little bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Brush or rub olive oil all over the potato skins, outside and in. Place on a baking rack in a roasting pan (don't use a cookie sheet, it will warp, use a roasting pan or broiler pan that can take the heat). Sprinkle the inside lightly with salt.

To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have potato skins using 6 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

This is a great recipe as written but I played with it just a little and was CRAZY happy with the result. Place potato skins on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle bacon and cheddar cheese inside skins. Can Potato Skins Be Made Ahead of Time.
Instructions to make Potato Skins:
- Take whatever potatoes you want to use and wash them up, (Will be cutting potatoes in half so one potato will make two potato skins)
- Poke potatoes with a fork, and bake the potatoes until done…
- Cut potatoes in half, let cool off, until you can touch them without burning yourself…(notice my fork marks I made, is also where I will be cutting them in half at.)
- Scoop out the middle of the potatoes, make sure you leave some on the edges and don’t go all the way down to the skin.
- Freeze all potatoes must be frozen before frying them.(make sure none of them are touching)
- When ready to cook pre heat oil and you will be baking these in the oven on boil for a few mins so if you want to pre heat the oven too… (if you don’t like using the boiler can set on 350 bake until cheese is melted)
- Fry all the potatoes skins, till golden brown, or as crunchy as you like, may need to flip them over in the oil and move them around, don’t overcrowd the pot, cook in batches, drain off oil when removing from oil and place on paper towels/ coffee filters or wire rack (make sure when place the skins side is facing up, does no good it’s sitting on the skin like a boat to holding the oil)
- After all potatoes are fried to your liking, add the cheese, place them on a cookie sheet, bake or boil in oven until cheese has melted
- Latest step, top skins with sour cream, cooked bacon crumbs/ bacon bits, and green onion/ chives top with some more cheese…
- Notes- Do whatever with the potatoes after scooping them out, don’t waste it.. I topped it with butter 🧈 salt pepper, and sour cream, for my kids, I have one that doesn’t do sour cream… kids are always wanting to eat lol. I have even made a small amount of mashed potatoes, for when I made these ahead of time and I use the mashed potatoes for dinner that night… it’s a win win and no waste.
If I am making a recipe that needs cooked potatoes (like Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes or Twice Baked Potato Casserole) I simply bake the potatoes and scoop out the flesh. Freeze the empty shells on a baking pan and then once frozen, stack them in a freezer bag. Scoop the mixture inside the potato skins. Check on them to make sure that the cheddar cheese doesn't burn. When they're ready, the skins will be nice and crispy and the insides will be tasty and brown.
