Ingredients

  • 2 Large Baking Potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Course Sea Salt
  • 2 Tablespoon Butter
  • 6 Green Onions (Spring Onions) Chopped
  • 1 Large Clove Garlic Minced

  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 4 Cups Milk We used 1%
  • 5 Ounces Cheddar Cheese Sharp Cheddar is also good
  • 4 Slices Bacon or use Bacon Bits

Instructions

  • To make baked potatoes, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Start by washing the potatoes and pricking them a few times with a fork. Then, rub some olive oil on the potatoes and sprinkle some coarse salt over them. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake them for 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the skin is crispy and you can easily insert a fork into the potato. That's all there is to it!

  • After letting the potato cool, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp.
    NOTE: If you want potato skins as a snack, place them back in the oven for 10 minutes. Add cheese and melt it, then top with bacon and green onions.
