Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F(220 degrees C).
step 2
Wash and scrub Russet Potatoes (5 lb) in running water and pat dry. Poke holes with a fork and bake potatoes for about 1 hour or until a knife goes in smoothly.
step 3
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature.
step 4
Slice the cooled potatoes in half, lengthwise, and scoop out the center of each potato half, leaving about an inch of flesh in each.
step 5
In a deep frying pan over medium-high heat, pour Vegetable Oil (4 cups) covering half of the pan. Fry the potato skins in batches until golden brown and crispy for about 3-5 minutes. Drain and transfer the potatoes to a wire rack.
step 6
While the potatoes are still hot, sprinkle Cajun Seasoning (2 Tbsp) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) on top. Add Shredded Colby Jack Cheese (2 cups) and Bacon Bits (3/4 cup).
step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven.
step 8
Top each potato with a dollop of Sour Cream (1 cup) and sprinkle with Scallions (3 stalks). Enjoy it fresh out of the oven!
