Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and rub with the oil.
Bake until tender when pierced with a paring knife, 55-60 minutes.
Remove from the oven; let stand until cool enough to handle. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and use a small spoon to scoop out the insides, leaving about ¼-inch border all around. Reserve the insides for another use. Slice each potato shell in half again lengthwise for a total of 32 wedges.
In a medium skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just starting to turn brown and crisp, 9-10 minutes.
Remove from heat; use a slotted spoon to transfer the pancetta to drain on paper towels. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
Brush each potato wedge with butter; sprinkle with herb mixture. Cover each wedge with ½ teaspoon of pancetta and a little more herb mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar and the fontina cheese over the tops.
Bake until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven; serve hot.
