Take note
Be careful when handling hot potatoes and melted cheese. Allow the potato skins to cool slightly before enjoying to prevent burning your mouth. And remember, these chips are addictively delicious!

1

Preheat the oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your potato skins get nice and crispy.

2

Prepare the potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Poke a few holes in each potato using a fork to allow steam to escape while they bake. This will help prevent any potato explosions!

3

Bake the potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The exact baking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes.

4

Let the potatoes cool

Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. This will make them easier to handle when scooping out the insides.

5

Scoop out the potato flesh

Carefully slice each potato in half lengthwise, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skins. Save the scooped-out potato flesh for another use, like mashed potatoes.

6

Add cheese and toppings

Sprinkle shredded cheese of your choice onto each potato skin, making sure to cover them evenly. Feel free to get creative here! You can also add toppings like crispy bacon bits, green onions, or jalapeños for some extra flavor.

7

Bake until cheesy and crispy

Return the potato skins to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the skins are crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

8

Serve and enjoy!

Once the cheesy potato skin chips are done, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them hot and crispy, and get ready to indulge in a cheesy and delicious treat!
