Stacked Spuds

"These potato skins are served up at a local restaurant and they are very good. Crispy with lots of flavor and you can vary to your likings. Enjoy!! I have updated this recipe to a broiler method. I met someone who used to work at this local restaurant and she informed me that they, in fact, broil them as opposed to deep frying. The broiler method is the best tasting and turn out with a much better texture."

directions

1. Wash potatoes.
2. Put in gallon size storage or freezer bag and microwave for 10 minutes until fork tender.

6. Flip each potatoe over as it browns and brown on the other side.

These were great - just like the potato skins I get when I go to a restaurant! I used crumbled bacon instead of the green onions - yummy!
