Ingredients

  • 5 cooked medium baked potatoes cold (we used russet)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon Lawry's seasoning
  • 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3-4 pieces cooked bacon crumbled
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced

Seasoned Sour Cream

  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉.
  • Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the inside leaving a thin layer of potato. Make sure that the potato skin stays intact.

  • Melt the butter in a small bowl and mix in the Lawry’s seasoning. Brush the seasoned melted butter onto the inside of the potato skins.
  • Bake the potato skins for 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the seasoned sour cream. Place all of the ingredients into a small bowl and mix until well combined.

Notes

  • This is a great recipe to use up extra baked potatoes. If you are making the baked potatoes fresh, we recommend this method.
  • Don’t have Lawry’s seasoning, use ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder. It isn’t the same thing, but will still be very tasty.
