baked potato skins
Servings: 6-10
INGREDIENTS
8 large baking potatoes
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1/2 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/2 cup chopped cooked shrimp or fully cooked ham, optional
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1 cup (4oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream

Bake potatoes at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly; cut in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4 inch shell. (Save removed potato pulp for another use.)

Cut skins into strips or halves; brush skin sides with butter and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle pulp sides with salt and paprika; top each with the green onions, bacon, shrimp or ham, chopped peppers, and cheese.

Bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and skins are crisp. Serve with sour cream.
