#3332 - Seasoned Potato Skins

(by Shirley McNevich)

6 red potatoes OR other baking potatoes
2 TBSP butter (melted)
Lowry's seasoned salt (to your taste)
fresh grated Parmesan cheese (as much as you wish)
shredded cheddar cheese (as much as you wish)
6 bacon strips (cooked and crumbled)
1 pint Breakstone's sour cream
chopped chives for topping (optional)

Cut a slit into each potato and bake them until tender, then let them cool for 1 hour. Slice each potato in half and scoop out some of the potato flesh (you can save the flesh for something else or discard it). Brush the melted butter all over the insides and outsides of the potato skins (don't be stingy), sprinkle seasoning salt and grated Parmesan cheese on the insides of the potato skins and place them on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until hot and crispy. Remove from oven and generously put crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese in each skin. Return to oven and bake a few minutes longer until cheese is melted. When ready to serve, place a spoonful of sour cream on top of each potato skin and sprinkle chopped chives over the sour cream.
