List of Ingredients

-4 med. russet potatoes
-1/4 c. butter, melted
-1/3 c. sour cream
-1 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
-1 tsp. snipped chives or green onion tops
-5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled




Recipe

-Preheat oven to 400.

-Bake potatoes in microwave until they are soft, or in oven for 1 hr.

-As potatoes are baking, make sour cream dip by mixing sour cream and chives or onions.
-Mix together and place in refrigerator to chill.

-When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, make 2 lengthwise cuts thru each potato, resulting in 3 slices that are 1/2" wide.
-Discard the middle slices or save for mashed potatoes.
-This will leave you with 2 potato skins from each potato (8 in all).

-With a spoon scoop out most the potato from the skin, leaving about 1/4" of potato in the skin.
-Brush the entire surface of the potato, inside and out, with the melted butter.

-Place the skins on a cookie sheet, cut side up.
-Turn the oven temperature up to broil.
-Broil for 6-8 mins.

-Place 2-3 T. of cheese on each skin.
-Sprinkle with 2 tsp. of bacon.
-Broil the skins for 2 more mins., or until the cheese is melted.

-Serve hot on a plate, with sour cream dip in the middle of the plate.

-Makes 2 servings
