Some cook in order to consume and live although some cook because they actually enjoy the process of cooking. Some cook through the times of emotional trauma among others cookout of sheer boredom. Whatever your reason behind cooking or learning to cook you need to always begin with the basics.

Yet another wonderful bit of advice when it comes to cooking staples would be to take to more straightforward recipes for some time and then expand your horizons into the more complex recipes which abound. Most recipes are going to have tiny note about their level of difficulty also you'll be able to go the recipe to find out whether it is something you are thinking about preparing or convinced that you can prepare.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Take to make Chili Cheese Potato Skins:

1. 6 small russet potatoes (about 3 in. long, select unblemished potatoes as we are using the skins.)
2. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3. 1/2 tsp paprika
4. 1/2 tsp salt
5. 1/4 tsp pepper
6. 1/4 tsp garlic powder
7. 1 cup to 2 cup Chili (I use leftovers from when I make homemade, but you can use canned chili)
8. 2 cup shredded cheese (I like cheddar or pepper jack)
9. 8 oz sour cream (will not use all)
10. 1 Optional - crumbled bacon (or Oscar Mayer Selects real bacon bits for a shortcut)
11. 2 tbsp sliced green onions or chopped chives - for garnish

Steps to make to make Chili Cheese Potato Skins

1. Scrub potatoes clean, poke a few holes in each with a fork or knife tip. Place in microwave and cook until fork tender, usually 12 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.
3. When potatoes are done let cool until they are easy to handle. Gently slice potatoes in half lengthwise being careful not to tear the skins.
4. Using a spoon carefully scoop flesh out of the center leaving behind about 1/4 in. intact on the skins. Again be careful not to tear the skins. (And let's not be wasteful. Save the scooped out flesh for another use like potato cakes, mashed potatoes or gnocchi.)
5. Preheat oven to 450°F, brush each potato half with oil mixture, inside and out. Place skin side up on baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip flesh side up so our little "wells" are ready to fill and bake another 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile reheat chili slightly in microwave. Warming the chili helps it spread out to fill the skins. Remove potato skins from oven. Fill each with about a tablespoon or so of chili (depends on how full you want them) and top with a small mound of cheese.
7. Return to oven until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. You can broil here, but only about 2 min for that and keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
8. Remove from oven, top each with a dollop of sour cream, green onions/chives and bacon if desired. Eat and enjoy!
