Potato Skins with Bacon and Cheese

A favorite steak dinner starter served at Cattlemen’s Steakhouse in the historic Stockyards City area of Oklahoma City.

3 medium russet potatoes
Vegetable oil
5 bacon slices
1 1/2 cups grated Vella Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 1/2 cups grated Vella Original Monterey Jack Cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Cayenne pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped green onions
Sour cream

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Scrub potatoes; pat dry, and rub skins with oil.

Place potatoes on baking sheet. Bake until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Cool.

Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters. Scoop out centers; leaving 1/2 inch thick layer of cooked potato on skins.

Oil baking sheet. Place skins, skin side down on sheet spacing 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook the bacon in heavy large skillet over median heat until brown and crisp. Drain and chop the bacon.

In a medium bowl, combine the bacon, cheeses, parsley and cayenne; sprinkle cheese mixture atop the skins.

Bake uncovered at 425 degrees until the cheese mixture melts and the skins are crisp, about 25 minutes.

Transfer skins to a platter. Sprinkle with green onions; top with dollops of sour cream and serve.
