Instructions

1 ✓

Wash and dry potatoes. Pierce with a fork, rub with olive oil, and salt the skin.

Tip: Holes let steam escape; oily salted skin bakes up crispy like chips.
2 ✓

Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 45-50 mins until soft (squeezes easily).

Tip: Place directly on rack for best air circulation.
3 ✓

Slice in half lengthwise. Scoop out insides into a bowl, leaving 1/4 inch shell.

Tip: The shell needs to support the filling, don't make it too thin.
4 ✓

Mash potato flesh with a fork, mix with BBQ sauce, spices, and half the cheese.

Tip: Don't blend or it gets gluey. Fork mash is best.
5 ✓

Stuff back into shells, top with remaining cheese. Bake 10 more minutes to melt cheese.

Tip: We are just browning and melting here.
6 ✓

Serve with sour cream and green onions.

Recipe FAQ

Can I eat the skin?
Yes! Since we oiled and baked it, it's crispy and delicious (and full of vitamins).
Can I do it in the microwave?
You can do the first cook in the microwave (approx 10 mins), but definitely finish in the oven to melt and brown the cheese.
