BAKED POTATO SKINS
Source of Recipe
Aunt Saunny
6 small baking potatoes (4 to 5 in. long)
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon paprika
pinch of pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes, pat dry, and rub
skins lightly with a little of the butter. Pierce potatoes
in several places with a fork. Bake potatoes until tender
when pierced (45 minutes to 1 hour). When cool enough to
handle, cut in halves lengthwise and scoop out potato,
leaving a thin shell about 1/8 inch thick. Reserve potato
for other dishes. Place skins on a baking sheet. Melt butter
in a small pan with paprika and white pepper. Stir. Brush
insides of potato skins with butter mixture. Bake potato
skins until crisp and golden (18 to 20 minutes).
Extras: For variety, try adding grated Cheddar cheese,
crumbled bacon, green onion, or chives.)
