Preparation:

    Step 1
  • How to Make Classic Potato Skins:

    Pierce 4 large Russet Burbank potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350°F (175°C) until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, then cut each potato lengthwise into quarters and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick skin.
  • Step 2
  • Brush both sides of the taco skins with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin side up, at 450°F (230°C) until crispy, about 15 minutes. Fill the skins with your favorite taco toppings. To make cheesy taco skins, flip them over before adding the toppings, sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
