They take a little while to make, but that's mainly time spent in the oven, so while they're cooking you can get on with other party prep.

Method

Heat the oven to 160C fan, gas 4. Put the potatoes in a roasting tin, drizzle with oil and season, and roast for 1 hr. Trim off the tops of the potatoes, scoop out most of the flesh, then put back in the oven for 15 mins. Allow to cool slightly.
Mix the cheese with soured cream, crispy fried onions and parsley. Divide the lettuce between the potato skins, and top with the cheese mix and a sprinkle of the onions.

Top Tip for making Cheesy potato skins

These cheesy potato skins are even nicer with bacon in them. Simply fry off or grill the bacon, chop into small pieces and scatter in with the soured cream.
