Homemade Potato Skins

Ive gotta say these things were FANTASTIC!!!
I made so many, I enjoyed them for an entire meal. and damn were they tasty!!
TGI Fridays frozen potatoes got nothing on these. they practically melt in your mouth.
A little tip for these, forget the paprika, but salt the underside of the potatoes while they are on your plate and you will love them even more.
Cheese (any kind) and bacon are my two favorite foods and when they are put together all the better. I hope you enjoy these :)


Ingredients
         4 large baking potatoes, baked
         3 tablespoons vegetable oil
         1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
         1/2 teaspoon salt
         1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
         1/4 teaspoon paprika
         1/8 teaspoon pepper
         8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
         1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
         1/2 cup sour cream
         4 green onions, sliced

Directions
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-in.
 shell (save pulp for another use).
Place potatoes skins on a greased baking sheet.
Combine oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, paprika and pepper; brush over both sides of skins.
Bake at 475 degrees F for 7 minutes; turn.
Bake until crisp, about 7 minutes more.
Sprinkle bacon and cheddar cheese inside skins.
Bake 2 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
Top with sour cream and onions.
Serve immediately.
