How to Make Armadillo Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
  3. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. If potatoes are large, you may need to cut them into quarters.
  4. Place potatoes cut side up on a large baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle melted butter evenly over the potatoes.
  6. In a bowl, combine shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  7. Spoon the cheese mixture generously onto each potato half.
  8. Bake for 50-70 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly. (Baking time depends on the size of your potatoes).
  9. If desired, sprinkle bacon bits over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
