INGREDIENTS
- 4 large Baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoon Butter ; melted
- 1 cup colby-jack ; shredded, or any cheese you prefer
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup green onions ; chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375.
Prick potatoes and back for 1 hour and 15 minutes until tender. Let cool until it can be handled.
Cut potatoes into 1/4's; scoop pulp, leaving about 1/4 inch thick shell.
Put potato shells on rack in broiling pan, skin down, and brush with butter.
Broil with top about 5 inches from heat for 8-10 minutes or until crisp and brown. Top with cheese and broil again until cheese is melted.
Serve with sour cream and green onions.
Sometimes I serve with ranch dressing instead.
Quick idea:
I sometimes microwave the potato until tender and then proceed with instructions.
I use the saved potato pulp to make mashed potatoes, or toss in at the end of a stew.
Feel free to add cooked bacon bits during the cheese adding stage.
