Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Potato Skins
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bacon strips in a single layer. Bake for 25-40 minutes, keeping an eye out for a crispy texture. Once cooked, allow the bacon to cool before crumbling it into small pieces.
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Clean the baby Dutch yellow potatoes thoroughly, then toss them in a bowl with avocado oil and kosher salt. Optionally, sprinkle in onion and garlic powder for extra flavor. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet, and roast them for about 20 minutes until they are tender.
- After baking, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for around 30 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cool, carefully slice each one in half lengthwise. Use a grapefruit spoon to gently scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/8-inch of potato on the skin.
- Increase your oven temperature to 450°F (230°C). Lay the hollowed potato skins on the baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip the skins over and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Remove the potato skins from the oven and fill each hollow with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Place the topping-filled skins back in the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- After baking, allow the mini potato skins to cool briefly. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Notes
Use a grapefruit spoon for efficient scooping and avoid over-scooping to maintain crunch.
