4 servings
For the potato skins
- 6 medium russet potatoes (about 6 oz / 170 g each), scrubbed
- 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp fine salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the filling

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For serving
- ½ cup sour cream (optional)
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the scrubbed potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50–55 minutes, until the skins are firm and a skewer slides through the center with no resistance. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
