How to Make Gourmet Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse 4 large russet potatoes. Prick each potato all over with a fork.
- Place potatoes on a baking sheet and sprinkle generously with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork, turning halfway through.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, carefully cut each potato in half lengthwise.
- Using a small spoon, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato lining the skin. Set aside the scooped potato flesh (optional: you can mash this and use it as a side dish).
- Brush the inside and outside of each potato half with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese inside each potato skin.
- Fill each potato skin with 1/4 cup diced cooked ham, 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper, and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Top each potato skin with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
