• Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Potatoes:

• Wash potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
• Using a fork, pierce the potatoes a few times to allow steam to escape during baking.

Bake the Potatoes:

• Place the potatoes directly on a baking sheet and bake potatoes for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Cut and Scoop:

• Slice the baked potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Carefully scoop out the inside of the potato halves, leaving a thin layer of potato flesh attached to the skin. Reserve the scooped-out potato for another use, such as mashed potatoes.

Assemble the Potato Skins:

• Fill each of the potato skin with a generous dollop of the Good Foods Dill Pickle Dip and a sprinkle of vegan cheese.
• Place the filled potato skins back in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the cooked potatoes are golden brown.

Prepare the Tempeh Bacon Bits:

• While the potato skins are baking, cut the tempeh into thin slices.
• In a bowl, combine the tempeh slices with smoked paprika, maple syrup, soy sauce, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until completely coated.
• Place the tempeh onto a baking sheet and place in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes or until firm.
• Remove the tempeh from the oven and allow to cool for 1-2 minutes. Cut into thin slices.

Garnish And Serve:

• Remove the potato skins from the oven and let them cool slightly.
• Garnish with fresh chives and a generous sprinkle of tempeh bacon bits.
