Easy Potato Skins


I'm not even sure if there are words to describe just how delicious these were. I have tried time after time to make a good restaurant style potato skin but they just weren't great.
This one though, O-M-G!
Perfection!
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, top these puppies with whatever you like. 

Ingredients:

4-5 Baking Potatoes
3 tbsp Olive/ Vegetable Oil
4 Sliced Cooked Bacon- Crumbled
2 C. Cheddar cheese
Diced Green Onions (optional)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder


Preheat oven to 425

Slice potatoes as seen in the picture above. Make them a bit thicker so they are sturdy after cooking.
In a bowl, add oil and toss potatoes. Arrange them on a foil lined, greased pan. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. (Use your favorite seasoning as well for added awesomeness!) Bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take one out and test it. They should be done. Top with cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, you name it and sprinkle with a bit more salt/pepper/onion powder.
Bake until cheese is melted.
Let cool a few minutes, they will be HOT!
Serve with your favorite sauce & enjoy!
