How to Make Armadillo Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Place potatoes cut side up on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle melted butter evenly over the potatoes.
- In a bowl, combine shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spoon the cheese mixture generously onto each potato half.
- 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).
- If desired, sprinkle bacon bits over the top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
