Servings: servings 3-4
Baked potato skins are easy, and a home for whatever you put on them is going to be delicious. Below is a recipe I created a while ago but I still use it today!
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
Wash and dry your russet potato.
Poke holes into the skin and deep into the flesh on all sides of the potatoes.
Place the potatoes into the oven and roast for an hour.
Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out 2/3rds of the potato and throw it away.
Place the potato skins in a bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika.
Add it to the potatoes skin side down to a cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
Then add cheese to them and place them back in the oven for 10 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
Remove the potato skins and top with cheese (allow it to melt) and add a little sour cream, chopped chives, and black olives to the top and serve.
