Bacon And Tomato - Potato Shells - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large baking potatoes
2 tsp. oil
1 tsp. chili powder
dash or two hot pepper sauce
1 c. chopped crisp Canadian bacon or turkey bacon
1 tomato, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. green onion, chopped
4 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese
dairy sour cream (optional)

Preparation

Bake potatoes until tender.
Cool; then slice lengthwise and scoop out the center of each half.
Leave about 1/4-inch thick shell.
Save the centers for mashed potatoes later.
Combine the oil, chili powder and hot pepper sauce.
Brush inside of each shell with the mixture.
Place on a baking sheet and fill each shell with bacon, tomato and green onion.
Top with cheese and bake at 450\u00b0 for 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and shells are heated through.
Serve with sour cream, if desired.
Shells can be covered and refrigerated for 24 hours before baking for make-ahead ease.
