For extra flavor, try using a smoky paprika or garlic powder when seasoning the potato skins. Feel free to substitute your favorite chili recipe or a vegetarian chili alternative. If you want a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chili or top with your favorite hot sauce. To make ahead, bake the potato skins until crisp, then cool and store in an airtight container. Fill and bake just before serving. Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a blend of your favorites.
