Recipe Instructions

Scrub potatoes and bake at 400F for 1 hour or until tender. (Don't microwave; you want the skins to hold their shape). Cool potatoes slightly, until they can be handled.

Cut in half lengthwise, leaving 1/4 inch of pulp with the skins. Discard pulp or reserve for another use. Cut skins in half either across or in strips. Brush skin sides with melted butter and place on baking sheet.

Sprinkle pulp sides with salt and paprika. Cover pulp with green onions, bacon, choice of meat, and green pepper. Top with cheese. Bake at 450 until cheese is melted and skins are crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish each with a dollop of sour cream.
