Cheesy and oh-so-delicious, these baked potato skins deserve a place on your table.

Refrigerate or freeze the potato flesh to make mashed potatoes another night.

Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on High for 5 minutes.

Carefully turn the potatoes and continue microwaving until soft, 8 to 10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, preheat broiler to high.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Place on the prepared pan.

Broil the potato skins, turning occasionally, until starting to crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

Turn skin-side down and top each with 1 tablespoon cheese.

Broil until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Serve the potato skins topped with sour cream, chives and/or bacon, if desired.
