4 medium russet potatoes
1/4 cup of butter, melted
1 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese
5 slices of bacon, cooked
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour. Let the potatoes cool down until they can be handled.
2. Take the potatoes and make 2 lengthwise cuts through each potato, resulting in three 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices. Discard the middle, or save for a mashed potatoe recipe. This will leave you with two skins per potatoe.
3. Spoon out part of the potato from each skin, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato in each skin.
4. Brush the entire skin, inside and out, with melted butter (or for a lighter meal, spray with a zero calerie butter spray, or with Butter Flavored Pam).
5. Place the skins on a cookie sheet, with the cut side facing up and Broil for about 8 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn dark brown.
6. Spinkle 2 or 3 tablespoons of Cheddar cheese into each skin.
7. Crumble bacon onto the cheese toppings.
8. Broil for about 2 minutes, or until cheese is thoroughly melted.
May be served with a sour cream dip.
