How to Make Potato Skins T G I Friday's Potato Skins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub 4 large russet potatoes. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork.
  2. Bake potatoes directly on the oven rack for 60-70 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  3. While potatoes bake, prepare the sour cream dip: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
  4. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle (about 15-20 minutes), cut each potato in half lengthwise.
  5. Using a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving about ¼-inch border. Roughly chop the potato flesh and set aside (reserve for mashed potatoes or another dish).
  6. Brush the inside of each potato skin with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  7. Place potato skins on a baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake for 5 minutes.
  8. Flip potato skins and sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese into each skin. Top with 1-2 teaspoons crumbled cooked bacon.
  9. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and bacon is crispy.
  10. Serve immediately with the chilled sour cream dip.
