  • Remove the potatoes from the oven. Using tongs, carefully transfer one potato at a time to a cutting board. With a large, sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the centers and transfer the potato flesh into a large mixing bowl. Leave a little potato around the edges to help the skins maintain their shape. Return the hollowed-out potato skins to the baking sheet.
