Start to finish: 50 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients
• 6 russet potatoes, cooked and chilled (see info box)
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
• 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 green onions, chopped

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 475 ºF. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Remove the pulp with a fork, leaving about half an inch on the skin.
2. In a bowl, mix the oil, Parmesan and spices together. Brush the mixture on both sides of the potato skin. Place them skin side up on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip them and return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
3. Put the bacon and cheese inside the skin and put them in the oven for 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
4. Garnish each potato skin with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and some of the green onion and serve.

Cooking the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425 ºF. Wash the potatoes and let them dry. Pierce a few holes in the skin with a fork. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes. Let them cool completely, ideally overnight in the fridge.
