TEXAS ROADHOUSE POTATO

Steps:

• Lay out 2 pieces of foil onto a flat surface. The foil should be enough to cover each potato.
• Wash potato skins thouroughly and dry them, dip in rendered bacon fat, place the potatoes onto each piece of foil and cover in sea salt. Wrap and bake in a 425 degree oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Make it a loaded potato and top it with sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, bacon (crumbled), and Mrs. Dash original seasoning for a really great baked potato, or eat it as is. Either way, it's delicious!

HOW TO MAKE TEXAS ROADHOUSE TATER SKIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Scrub each potato to remove dirt. Since eating the skin is part of the dish's charm, it is critical to get all parts of the skin squeaky clean.
• Rub the outside of each potato with vegetable oil.
• Bake potatoes in the oven for an hour.
• Remove potatoes from oven and allow them to cool for 15 minutes.
• In a bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, oregano and thyme.
• Stir the spice mixture until well combined.
• Slice each potato in half.
• Scoop out part of the inside of the potato to allow room for toppings. Leave at least 1/4-inch border to prevent the potatoes becoming too crispy.
• Increase the temperature of you oven to 450°F.
• Place potatoes skin-side down and sprinkle inside of potatoes with spice mixture.
• Bake for about 10 minutes.
• Flip the potatoes, season again, then bake for another 10 minutes.
• Flip potatoes so the skin side is down again. Fill each half with sharp shredded cheddar cheese and top with bacon bits.
• Broil for about 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
• Remove the potatoes once the cheese is bubbly, then plate immediately.
• Top with sour cream, or serve it on the side.
• Comment: The secret of the Texas Roadhouse Tater Skins is a delicate balance between a slightly crisp outside and a soft, fluffy potato inside. You can easily alter this recipe to include your favorite types of cheeses. Consider using a Mexican blend for a nice treat. Opt for freshly prepared bacon bits rather than pre-packaged varieties for the best flavor. For an extra spicy kick, drizzle your favorite hot sauce over the top, or add a bit of Cayenne pepper to spice the blend.
