How to Make Cheesy Potato Skins With Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake 4 large russet potatoes for 50 minutes, or until tender. (Alternatively, microwave potatoes for 8-10 minutes per potato, then finish baking in the oven until soft)
  3. Let potatoes cool slightly.
  4. Cut each potato in half lengthwise.
  5. Using a spoon, scoop out the potato pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell.
  6. Set the potato pulp aside.
  7. Cut each potato half into two quarters.
  8. Season potato skins with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
  9. While skins bake, mash 1 cup of the reserved potato pulp with a potato masher.
  10. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Divide the potato mixture evenly among the potato skins, pressing gently to fill.
  12. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  13. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
  14. Serve warm and enjoy!
