cooking spray
4 large baking potatoes
45 mL canola oil
15 mL grated Parmesan cheese
2.5 mL salt
1.25 mL garlic powder
1.25 mL ground paprika
0.625 mL ground black pepper
360 mL shredded Cheddar cheese
8 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
120 mL sour cream
4 stalks green onion, sliced
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 245°C (475°F). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 2
Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving a 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick skin. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the canola oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Brush the mixture over both sides of the potato skins.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, for 30 to 45 minutes. Thicker skins may require longer cooking. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese and bacon inside the skins and continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 2 more minutes.
Step 5
Top the potato skins with sour cream and green onions. Serve hot.
