1

Preheat oven and prepare potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub 4 large baking potatoes under cold water and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. This will allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting in the oven.

2

Bake the potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, evenly spaced. Bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender. To check for doneness, insert a knife or skewer into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily without resistance, they're done!

3

Cool and slice the potatoes

Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, slice them into rounds of about ¼ inch thickness. A sharp knife works best for this, but be careful not to slice your finger instead!

4

Preheat oil and fry the potato skins

Fill a deep pot or fryer with enough vegetable oil to submerge the potato skins. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C). Carefully add a few potato skins at a time and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried skins to a paper towel-lined plate.

5

Season and add toppings

Sprinkle the fried potato skins with salt while they're still hot. Then, it's time to load them up! Add your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits, chopped green onions, sour cream, and any other toppings your heart desires. Get creative!

6

Broil until cheese melts

Turn on your oven's broiler to high. Place the loaded potato skins on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the toppings are heated through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!

7

Serve and enjoy!

Carefully remove the loaded potato skin chips from the oven and transfer them to a platter. Serve them hot and watch as your friends and family gobble them up with excitement. These delicious chips won't last long, so make sure you grab a few for yourself!
