Cheeseburger Fried Potato Skins with Basil Aioli

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub potatoes, pat dry, then rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake directly on rack or on a baking sheet for 40-50 minutes until fork-tender. Let cool.
2. 2
   Once cool enough to handle, slice each potato lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch around the edges.
3. 3
   Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Working in batches, fry potato skins flesh side down for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Drain and season lightly with salt.
4. 4
   In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef for 4-5 minutes. Add onion, cook 2 minutes, then stir in garlic and Worcestershire. Salt and pepper to taste; remove from heat.
5. 5
   Place fried potato skins on a baking sheet, fill with beef mixture, and top with cheddar. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. 6
   Meanwhile, combine all basil aioli ingredients in a bowl; whisk until smooth and chill until serving.
7. 7
   Top potato skins with pickles and green onions. Serve hot with basil aioli for dipping!
