Pro Tip: To make potato half shell from fresh potatoes:

  1. Slice the russets in half lengthwise, immediately place them into a medium-sized pot with water and salt. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are just fork tender. About 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly.
  2. Carefully spoon some of the flesh out of the potatoes and reserve for another use. Drizzle the potato shells with the olive oil on a baking sheet. Bake the potato shells for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use.
