incredibly good. i also only oiled the inside. will make them over and over.

Time consuming, but worth the effort! Just like the ones you get at your favorite neighborhood bar.

yummmy yummmy

Excellent recipe! Only change I made was using 1/2 buter 1/2 oil. Just like the skins you get at a good sports bar.

great recipe better than what you get out at restaurants

I have prepared these several times & they are excellent! I recommend freshly grated parmesan & pepperjack cheese for a kick.

I followed others advice in EVOO and blotting out inside prior to adding the cheese. I made 24 halves for 5 people and they were enjoyed by all. Everyone of them. So much healthier and cheaper than the restaurant. Thank you for the recipe.

These were absolutely delicious! Although just a little greasy, next time, I will only oil the skin.

This was a great recipe. Everybody in my family really liked it. It was really easy to make and I was afraid it would not turn out, being new at this cooking thing. But no problems and tasted wonderful. Thank you.

These were decent potato skins. I baked my potatoes and then followed the advice to cook the skins for 7 mins on one side, and 7 mins on the other side. I found these to be a bit bland, so I sprinkled some garlic salt on them and it definitely enhanced the flavor. I'll make again, but with the expectation to season them up. A good base recipe!

Quick and easy to make and oh so good! Followed the recipe to a T. Perfect seasoning and presentation was just like the restaurants!

These were wonderful! Whole family loved them. I only scooped out the potatoes to approximately 1/2" thickness and baked them for 15 minutes on each side and the came out perfect!!

Oh man these were good, plus got a great big kiss from the hubby on these, so will definitely make again. Nice and crispy and added some taco seasoning to the sour cream - delicious!!

I think these came out better than restaurant potato skins. 10 stars!!

I have now made this twice, once for my family 4th of July get-together and then for a baby shower. These were a great success with both groups. They were eaten up quickly both times. I used the "perfect baked potato" recipe from this site to bake the potatoes. I always serve the sour cream on the side because not everyone likes it.

I tried this recipe the way it was written and it was very good, but I kept reworking it and finally came up with my favorite variation. I make the oil mixture and coat the outsides of the potatoes as written but double the amount of parmesan and garlic powder. However, I keep the scooped out middles to stuff back into the potatoes later. While the potatoe skins are cooking for the first 7 minutes, I put the potato goop that I'd scooped out into the bowl that had the oil-garlic mixture, stir it up, and add in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and the bacon (bacon is optional). I then stir in 1/4-1/2 cup cream of chicken. I don't use sour cream (personal preference). After the skins have cooked for 7 minutes, I restuff them with the potato mixture, top with a little bit of pepperjack cheese, and bake them for another 7-10 minutes. Trust me, it's fabulous!
