Bake Potatoes: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
-
Cool and Scoop: Allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Cut each potato lengthwise into halves, and carefully scoop out the insides, leaving about a 3/8-inch shell.
-
Prepare Skins: Spread the inside of the potato shells with margarine or butter, then sprinkle with salt to season.
-
Load with Toppings: Cut each potato half into six pieces. Sprinkle the chopped onion, minced garlic, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon evenly over the potato pieces.
-
Broil: Adjust your oven control to broil or set it to 550Β°F (290Β°C). Place the loaded potato skins about 5 inches from the heat source and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
-
Serve: Once the cheese is melted and the edges are crispy, remove the potato skins from the oven. Allow them to cool for a minute or two, then serve hot and enjoy the irresistible flavors!
