Potato Skins


Good morning everyone...I have been hiding out the last few days with a horrible cold.  Sorry for not posting, but I simply have not been cooking.  My sweet hubby has been taking care of me while I was sick. 

These fantastic potato skins are something easy and something you will surely love.  Give them a try.

Potato Skins

6 sm/med potatoes
4 Tbsp. softened butter
2 green onions, finely diced
1 cup Gruyere or Mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp. seasoned salt
1 Tbsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper

Wash potatoes and pierce the skins with a fork or nice (all around the potato).  Place in plastic wrap and microwave about 4 minutes.  Carefully remove plastic wrap and slice potatoes in half.  Using a spoon, scoop out a well in the center of each half, leaving plenty around the edges.

Place a dollop of softened butter (not even a tsp.) in each potato.  In a small bowl, mix seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne.  Using fingers, sprinkle a little on top of each potato.  Add about 1 heaping Tbsp. of cheese to each potato half and then sprinkle the green onions on top.  Place onto a sprayed or lined cookie sheet (I put them in my cast-ironed skillet) and bake for about 10 minutes in a 375 degree oven, or until cheese is bubbly and starting to brown slightly.

Remove, top with sour cream and serve.  These would be a great Super Bowl snack!

Enjoy!
