Welcome back Smokin’ and Grillin’ wit AB Fam! Today, we’re diving into the world of mouthwatering flavors with a recipe that’s sure to ignite your taste buds – TGI Friday Potato Skins. This recipe brings together the crispy goodness of potato skins, the richness of melted cheese, and the savory crunch of fried bacon.
Ingredients
- 4 small russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup mozzarella, shredded
- 1/2 cup fried bacon, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
To serve:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 chopped green onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Pierce each potato with a fork a few times.
Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until they are tender.
Once the potatoes are baked and cooled slightly, cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato on the skin.
In a bowl, mix the melted butter with salt and pepper. Brush the inside and outside of each potato skin with the butter mixture.
Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until they become crispy.
Remove the potato skins from the oven and sprinkle each with a combination of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese. The combination of these two cheeses brings a perfect balance of sharpness and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Top it all off with half a cup of crumbled fried bacon – because, let’s be honest, everything’s better with bacon!
Return the potato skins to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.he cheese should become gooey, and the bacon will infuse its smoky flavor into every bite. This step usually takes just a few minutes, so keep a close watch to prevent any burnt cheese mishaps.
Serve the loaded potato skins with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
