Ingredients

  • 10 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 2/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • For dipping: bottled ranch dressing

Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F. Have 2 rimmed baking sheets ready.

Pierce potatoes 2 or 3 times. Bake directly on middle oven rack 50 to 60 minutes until tender.

When cool enough to handle, cut potatoes in quarters lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop pulp from skins, leaving 1/4-in.-thick shells. Place skin side down on ungreased baking sheets. Brush with oil; sprinkle with garlic salt and chili powder.

To serve: Heat oven to 450°F. Bake skins 15 to 20 minutes until hot and edges are crisp. Remove from oven; sprinkle with bacon, scallions and cheese. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.

Planning Tip: Can be prepared through Step 3 up to 1 day ahead. Nest skins in rigid plastic containers, cover and refrigerate.
