Easy Baked Potato Skins
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place potato skins, skin side down, on a baking sheet and top with cheese and bacon. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- If you don’t have leftovers, start with whole potatoes and bake or microwave until done. Quarter the potatoes and scoop out flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch layer on the skins.
