Delicious Cheesy Bacon And Green Onion Potato Skins

These are easy to make and can be made hours in advance or a day ahead and chilled until ready to pop in the oven, instead of cheddar you can use a mixture of you favorite cheeses, i like using marbled mixed with the cheddar. If you are serving these as an appetizer you can use 10-12 small russet potatoes instead of large --- all ingredients may be adjusted to taste --- these are very good!!

Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the pulp leaving about 1 / 2-inch thick layer of the cooked potato on the skins.
Oil a large baking sheet.
Place the skins on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the inside with salt and pepper and grated parmesan cheese.
In a bowl combine the shredded cheese , chopped bacon , parsley and cayenne pepper.
Mix to combine.
Evenly divide the cheese mixture over top of the skins.
At this point you can cover tightly with plastic wrap refrigerate until ready to serve.
Bake for about 25 minutes , or until the skins are crisp and the cheese melts.
