1

Prep the Potatoes

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Using a fork, pierce the skin of each potato a few times to allow steam to escape while baking.

2

Bake the Potatoes

Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the insides are tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

3

Cut and Scoop

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving about ¼ inch of potato attached to the skins. Save the scooped-out potato flesh for another recipe, like mashed potatoes.

4

Add Cheese and Bacon

Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped cooked bacon evenly over the potato skins. Be generous with the toppings; after all, it's all about the cheese and bacon goodness!

5

Broil to Perfection

Preheat your broiler. Place the loaded potato skins on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
