I’ve been meaning to try doing my own potato skins for ages but haven’t had the time to do much this year (as you can probably tell with the lack of posting here!). However, yesterday we had friends over for dinner so I decided that it was finally time to give them a go. They actually turned out pretty good too! So here’s the recipe. You can select your own toppings of course, below is just what we used 
Need:
1-2 medium sized, clean skinned potatoes per person
Sour cream
2 Streaky or Back Bacon rashers per potato (you could also use fried onion, ham, tuna or anything else that takes your fancy!)
Grated Cheddar or some other strong flavour cheese
Method:
- Bake the potatoes in an oven using either combination or standard oven cooking. Bake until cooked all the way through, then leave the potatoes to cool.
- Cut each potato in half and scoop almost all of the potato, leaving just a lining of potato to hold the skin together.
- Mash about half the scooped out potato with a spoonful of sour cream. Then spread the potato and cream mix back into each potato skin.
- Grill the bacon and then chop into small pieces. Place the bacon on each of the potato skins.
- Sprinkle the potato skins with the grated cheese.
- Cook at 180-200o C for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and started to brown a little.
- Serve with sour cream and chive dip.
These went down a treat
