Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
  • 1 green onion diced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon horseradish
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Poke potatoes with a fork and brush with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and bake for 45 minutes - 1 hour or until a fork can be inserted to the potatoes easily.
  • Once potatoes are cool enough to touch, cut in half and carefully remove the flesh. Try not to break the skins. I'd recommend saving the flesh for baked potato soup.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Spray a cooling rack with cooking spray. Place the potato skins on the cooling rack. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until skins are crispy.
  • Remove potato skins from oven. Divide shredded cheese evenly between the potato skins. Bake for 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted. You can also place them under the broiler for 2 - 3 minutes to get the cheese hot and bubbly.
  • In a bowl mix the sour cream, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Place a dollop on top of each potato skin. Serve immediately.
