👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork. Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for about 50-60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.

⏱️ 60 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F

AI Wisdom: Potatoes should be tender inside and the skin crisp.
2

Remove potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch attached to the skin. Reserve the potato flesh for another use.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Be careful not to tear the skin.
3

Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Place the hollowed potato skins on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes until crisp and lightly browned.

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 450°F

AI Wisdom: Skins should be crispy.
4

Remove skins from the oven. Sprinkle cheese and bacon evenly into each skin. Return to the oven and bake for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

⏱️ 3 min (ish) 🌡️ 450°F

AI Wisdom: Cheese should be bubbly and slightly golden.
5

Top with sliced green onions, sour cream, and parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
