Steps:
- Pre-heat the broiler on your oven.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
- Poke the potato 4-6 times with a fork to let moisture out during "baking".
- OPTIONAL: Rub butter on the out side of the potato and season with garlic, salt, pepper, or what ever seasoning you would like to give it a little extra flavor.
- Put the potatoes on a plate and put cook in the microwave for 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon. I did it in the broiler to save on an extra pan and keep it easy. Just keep an eye on it so they don't burn. I just laid the bacon out on my broiler pan and put it right under the broiler.
- Once the potatoes are done, take them out and slice them in half.
- Use a spoon to scoop out a little of the inside to form a small shallow "bowl" with the potato.
- Chop the cooked bacon and sprinkle some in each of the potato "bowls" I plan for appx one slice per potato half.
- Next, Sprinkle cheese over the potatoes. I say 1/2 cup for 4 halves just as a general guess. You can go light or go heavy, how ever you prefer.
- Put the potatoes on a broiler pan, if you used one for the bacon, or even just a cookie sheet.
- Put the pan directly under the broiler and cook until the cheese melts and starts to brown.
- Remove from oven.
- Top with desired amount of sour cream and serve.
- Optional: you can sprinkle fresh chives or green onion on top after the sour cream.
HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS
Homemade potato skins are great while watching football or serving at a casual party. There is absolutely no need to deep fry them. As long as the skins are cooked at a high heat, they will be perfectly crispy! After eating these my boyfriend proclaimed, "no need to spend ten bucks at a restaurant anymore!"

Steps:
- Bake the potatoes until tender (I bought the micorwavable kind, you may bake them though). Let potatoes cool. In a medium size bowl mix the Sour Cream, Baccon, Shredded Cheese, Salt, Pepper. Refridgerate for 10-15 minute Take the potatoes half them, and then fourth them. Scoop almost all the potato flesh out with a spoon, I like to leave a little so it's more like a french fry, but it dosnt really matter.
- While the filling is in the fridge, heat your oil (I have a fryer) to about 350 degrees. Once the oil is hot drop the skins into fryer or pan. Cook the skins until crispy (5-8 mins). Once done place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb grease.
- Take out the filling and preheat the oven to "Broiler" Get a baking sheet and fill the skins with the filling, don't put too much or all the filling will come out. Broil the potato skins until the filling is hot and goey. If you want, garnish with green onion.
- Review and Comment! They are much appreciated! I hope you love these as much as I do! Thanks! :).
