Potato Skins

  What you need:  6 potatoes  Olive, peanut or canola oil Salt (Kosher is best) Pepper 6 strips of bacon cooked and crubled 1 cup grated cheese Sour cream (optional) Green onions thinly sliced (also optional) Directions: Bake your potatoes either in the oven at 400° for around an hour or in the microwave around 5 minutes per potato or use the baked potato setting for best results. Either way is fine and the finished potato skins come out the same.  Let potatoes cool to where you can handle them and slice each in half and heat your oven to 450° Scoop out the center of the potato leaving about 1/4th inch of potato around the sides.  Brush your choice of oil on both sides of the potato and place on a wire rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with kosher salt Bake for 10 minutes then turn potatoes over and bake for another 10 minutes Remove potatoes, fill with cheese top with bacon and broil until cheese is bubbling Top with sour cream and onions if you choose to
