4 large bake potatoes (baked or microwaved until tender)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Oil (for deep frying)
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
8 slices of bacon (cooked until crispy and crumbled)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
4 green onions (sliced)
METHOD:
Step 1: Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, scoop out the insides and discard leaving about ¼” of the shell.
Step 2: In a small bowl combine 3 tablespoons oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, parmesan cheese and pepper. Brush mixture all over potato skins.
Step 3: Heat deep fryer to 365 degrees and deep fry potato skins for 5 minutes in batches. Drain on paper towels. (* to bake instead of deep fry – pre-heat oven to 475 degrees. Place skins in a greased baking dish and bake for 8 minutes. Turn over and bake for 8 minutes on that side.)
Step 4: Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Place potato skins in a lightly greased baking dish and fill each skin with cheddar cheese and bacon. Divide evenly between each skin. Bake for 7 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and top with sour cream and green onions.
(Makes 4 servings)
