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. Keep the flesh to make mashed potatoes.
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. Prepare the Paloma.
step 8
Add the PATRÓN® Silver Tequila (12 fl oz), Grapefruit Soda (18 fl oz), Lime Juice (3 fl oz), and Salt (6 pinches) to an ice-filled highball glass and stir.
step 9
Garnish with a slice of Grapefruit (6 slices).
