Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Clean and cook whole potatoes until you can easily poke with a fork or knife. However, don’t cook them until they’re falling apart! The second cooking will cook everything further! You can bake them for 45 minutes – 1 hour, depending on size OR microwave them for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  3. Once potatoes are cooked, cut in half – long ways!
  4. With a spoon, scoop out the center, but leave just a tad of potato around all of the inside. This helps keep stability. I like to push the limits here, myself. I scoop out as much potato as possible, so I can get a crispy skin!
  5. Place skins on a baking sheet face down first – almost touching each other. (I like to line mine with parchment paper for easy cleanup!). Baking them face down and closer, helps them to hold their shape and not flatten out. Spray inside and outside of each skin with olive, coconut, or avocado oil. Feel free to sprinkle some salt on the outsides too – I love it!
  6. Bake skins for 8-10 minutes, flip, and bake the other side for another 8-10 minutes or until desired crispiness is reached.
  7. While the potatoes crisping up, combine remaining ingredients with the potato you removed from the skins. If you decided to add bacon, set aside the bacon pieces for the topping, and add the bacon grease to your filling. This addition is completely optional and not necessary! However, bacon grease makes everything better!
  8. Taste your filling and adjust the salt and pepper! We like our potatoes, not only crispy, but SALTY! Therefore, I add close to 2 tsp to this recipe.
  9. Once the potato skins are finished crisping up in the oven, remove them and add filling to each. Don’t be afraid to go heavy on that filling! For this recipe, each half took about a cup of filling. Use it all or save some to snack on as these finish cooking! 😉
  10. Top with bacon pieces and bake for 10 minutes or until the tops have just slightly started to brown up.
  11. Top with more chives or sour cream alternative of choice and DIG INNNNN!
