See all
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

For the chimichurri

1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, tightly packed
¼ cup fresh oregano leaves
4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
¼ cup garlic-infused oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp kosher salt

For serving

4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
2 tbsp scallion greens, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then place directly on the oven rack. Bake for 50–55 minutes, until the skins are firm and a skewer slides through the center with no resistance.
2
While the potatoes bake, make the chimichurri: finely chop the parsley, oregano, and scallion greens together on a cutting board until the herbs are very fine. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the garlic-infused oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt until combined. Set aside to let the flavors develop while you finish the skins.
