Texas Roadhouse Potato Skins

Ingredients

• Baking potatoes
• Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• Cheddar cheese
• Bacon bits
• Your choice of topping, i.e., sour cream, ketchup, Ranch dressing

Instructions

1. Bake potatoes in oven first, then cut in half, scoop out part of the insides to make room for toppings... too thin and potatoes will be too crispy. Fry the potato halves in something like a Fry Daddy, or another fryer, with your oil.
2. Leave submerged in oil for just about 30 seconds to a minute.
3. Put on paper towel to drain excess grease.
4. Continue with rest of potatoes.
5. Top with Cheddar cheese and put back in oven only long enough for cheese to melt.
6. Top with bacon bits, and your favorite toppings.
