👩🍳 How to Make Them
Bake the potatoes until they’re tender enough to scoop.
Cut them in half and carefully scoop out some of the center, leaving enough potato attached to the skin so the shells stay sturdy.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
Bake again until golden and bubbly. ✨
The edges crisp up beautifully while the cheese melts into every little nook.
And that first bite?
Crispy, buttery potato + gooey melted cheese. 😍
🔥 Make Them Your Own
Even though the basic recipe only needs three ingredients, you can easily dress these up when you want something extra.
🥓 Add crispy bacon
🌶️ Sprinkle on jalapeños
🧅 Add green onions

You can even set out different toppings and let everyone build their own.
