Stuffed Potato Skins Recipe

I have to admit to loving potato skins and am always on the lookout for different ways of doing them. I limit myself to making them only on special occasions, such as barbecues or cocktail parties as I would end up eating too many of them if I had them more often. This recipe was given to me by Judy, a friend of mine. She is a great cook and was always treating us to some really special recipes, this being one of them.

INGREDIENT'S:

5 - 6 baked potatoes
1 tablespoon butter - melted
3 spring onions - chopped
3- 4 rashers bacon - cooked and diced
3/4 cup grated cheese
sour cream (I use the light one with garlic and parsley)
some spring onions - thinly sliced (green part only)
season salt (can use plain sea salt)

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180C.
Cut cooked potatoes in halves and remove most of the insides. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle a little salt on them.
Bake or about 15 - 20 minutes or until just crisp but not dried out.
Remove from oven and sprinkle the cheese, bacon and onion over them.
Return to oven and heat until cheese is melted.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and then put the spring onions over.
Can use snipped chives instead if fresh ones are available.
You can cut the potatoes into quarters instead of halves if using for a party.
