How to Make Crisp Garlic Potato Skins

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prick 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork.

  4. Let potatoes cool completely. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  12. Sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
  13. Bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
