Cheesy Potato Skins
Description
Broiled spud shells transform into crispy and delicious appetizers!
Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes (2 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
Directions:
- Heat oven to 375°F. Pierce potatoes to allow steam to escape. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until tender. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes lengthwise into fourths; carefully scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shells. Save potato pulp for another use.
- Set oven control to broil. Place potato shells, skin sides down, on rack in broiler pan. Brush with butter.
- Broil with tops 4 to 5 inches from heat about 5 minutes or until crisp and brown. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream and onions.
