I clipped this recipe from a magazine sometime ago. Don't ask me which magazine because I don't have a clue. I just know I love Tater Skins. Just wish they came without calories!
Taco Tater Skins
6 large russet potatoes
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
15 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
3 green onions, chopped
Salsa and/or sour cream, optional
Bake potatoes at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until tender. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes lengthwise into quarters. Scoop out pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch shell (save pulp for another use).
Combine the butter and taco seasoning; brush over both sides of potato skins. Place skin side down on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese, bacon and onions.
Bake for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Serve with salsa and/or sour cream, if desired.
Makes two dozen.
