Baked Potato Skins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 baking potatoes
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. finely chopped green onions
1/2 c. finely chopped, cooked bacon
1/2 c. cooked ham or shrimp (optional)
1/2 c. chopped green peppers
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 c. sour cream

Preparation

Bake potatoes at 400\u00b0 for 1 hour or until tender.
Cool slightly; cut in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-inch of pulp still attached to skin.
(The potato pulp you remove can be refrigerated for use later.) Cut skins into strips or halves; brush skin sides with melted butter and place on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle pulp sides with salt and paprika; cover with the green onions, bacon, ham or shrimp and chopped peppers. Top with cheese.
Bake at 450\u00b0 until cheese is melted and skins are crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Garnish each skin with a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately.
