How to Make Restaurant Style Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Wash and pierce potatoes several times with a fork.
- Microwave potatoes on high for 10-12 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell.
- Heat vegetable oil to 365°F (185°C) in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot. Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
- Carefully place potato skins in the hot oil and fry for 5 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove potato skins with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Fill each potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions.
- Arrange filled potato skins in the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot, optionally with a dollop of sour cream.
