How to Make Pizza Pan Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from bacon fat, drain on paper towels, and crumble.
- Peel 3 large russet potatoes, leaving a good amount of potato on the skin (about 1/4 inch).
- Scoop out the potato centers, reserving for another recipe or slicing into wedges to cook alongside the skins.
- Deep fry the potato skins in 350°F (175°C) oil until golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes). Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Remove potato skins, drain thoroughly on paper towels, and season generously with salt.
- Arrange potato skins evenly in a large pizza pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and the crumbled bacon.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately with sour cream for dipping.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
