Potato Skins

This is a great recipe to go as an appetizer or as a side dish for a cookout.  You will need to the following ingredients:

8 large potatoes

2-3 tbs. butter

3/4 lb. bacon

garlic salt

chopped green onion

cheddar cheese

Here are all my ingredients lined nicely up. 

Take the potatoes and bake or microwave.  I chose the microwave them. 

Next you will want to start cooking your bacon!  Yum!

When potatoes are done, cool a bit.  You will then need to slice them lengthwise in half, then each half into thirds.

Here I am cutting them in halves.

And see each half I am cutting into thirds.

Then you need to arrange them into a 9x13 pan.  My potatoes were so large I used a 9x13 and a 8x8!

The next step is to melt the butter.  My recipe calls for 2-3 tbs.  I use a whole stick, sometimes you get dry potatoes and this helps keep them moist!

Once the butter is melted you need to spread over both pans of potatoes.

Then sprinkle garlic salt, too taste.

After this step top with shredded cheese, chopped bacon and green onion.  The finished product should look like this:

See yummy!  Finally, top pan with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  They should then look like this:

Serve with sour cream and enjoy!  Trust me they get rave reviews every time I make them.  You can also make them a day ahead and pop it in the oven the day of the party!
