Steps:
- Lightly grease outside of potatoes, cut small slit in top and bake at 425 degrees F for 45 minute or until soft. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.

- Brush outside and inside of skins with melted butter. Sprinkle inside with steak seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
- Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes or until crisp and bubbly.
- Fill with cheddar cheese and bacon. Bake 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle of chives.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake the potatoes until cooked through, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Once cooled, split the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out a pocket, saving the scooped potatoes. Place the potato skins skin-side down on a baking sheet. Place the skins in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to rest.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Fry the potatoes to a golden brown, in batches if necessary. This should take 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Once golden brown, remove and hold on the baking sheet for stuffing.
- In a mixer, whip the reserved scooped potatoes on low until mixed. Add the butter, sour cream, parsley and Cajun spice. Mix until well blended, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the mixer.
- Add the cheese and mix well with a spoon. Then "re-stuff" the skins with the pork and then top with the cheeses. Bake until the cheese is melted, 15 to 18 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the baking potatoes on a baking tray. Prick all over with a fork and rub with a little oil. Cook potatoes in oven for 1 hr until golden and cooked all the way through. Remove from oven. Allow potatoes to cool for 15 mins.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tsp oil in a medium frying pan and fry the bacon for 5-8 mins until crisp. Leave to cool, then transfer to a board and finely chop.
- Cut the slightly cooled potatoes in half and scoop the flesh from the skin into a large bowl, leaving a little around the edges. Put the skins back on the baking tray, scooped side up.
- Mash the potato flesh and soured cream together using a fork or masher. Stir in the cooled bacon, most of the spring onion or chives and half of the cheddar. Season to taste.
- Divide the potato mixture evenly between the cavities of the potato skins. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over each filled potato half. Return the potatoes to the oven for 20 mins until golden and bubbling.
- Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion or chives and serve hot.

HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS
Homemade potato skins are great while watching football or serving at a casual party. There is absolutely no need to deep fry them. As long as the skins are cooked at a high heat, they will be perfectly crispy! After eating these my boyfriend proclaimed, "no need to spend ten bucks at a restaurant anymore!"
