A healthier alternative to a classic, these potato skins are baked rather than fried with some delicious turkey bacon and Monterey Jack cheese to top them off.

Ingredients

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

6 turkey bacon slices (these should be cooked crisp and crumbled)

4 medium russet potatoes

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1/2 cup sour cream, for topping

4 tbsp melted butter

1/2 tsp kosher salt[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Scrub potatoes, pat dry and pierce with a fork several times. Rub each potato with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 50-60 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven, allowing potatoes to cool just enough to handle comfortably.

Turn the oven up to 450F.

Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the cooked potato leaving a 1/2-inch thick layer of potato along the sides and bottoms of the skins. Discard scooped out potato or use for mashed potatoes.

Brush the hollowed potato skins (inside and outside) with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place potatoes skin-side-up on baking sheet and return to oven for 10 minutes. Flip the skins and bake another 8 minutes.

Remove from oven, sprinkle skins with crumbled turkey bacon, cheddar and Monterey Jack. Return to oven and bake 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve warm, topped with sour cream.
