Baked Potato Skins

Print This Recipe



INGREDIENTS

8 baking potatoes, scrubbed, patted dry, and rubbed with olive oil
Olive oil
Sweet paprika
Sea or Kosher salt
Sour cream, if desired

Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in a preheated 425 degree oven.

Let cool, halve lengthwise, and scoop them out, leaving a 1/4-inch shell and reserving the potato pulp for another use.

Cut each shell lengthwise into 6 strips and arrange the strips on a baking sheet.

Brush the strips with the oil, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown.

Serve the potato skins with sour cream.

NOTE - I like to sprinkle some shredded Cheddar cheese on mine, put back into the oven, and bake until the cheese melts. Then we top them with sour cream and sliced green onions.
