Loaded potato skins


Mike loves loaded potato skins.  They are delicious, but very unhealthy, with quite a bit of cheese, bacon and sour cream.  I wanted to make some for him anyway (at least at home I can control how much bad stuff is put in it).  I was able to use the potatoes that I scooped out to make Shepherd's Pie, but that's another post.

There are quite a few "recipes" out there for this dish, many of which use butter.  I found this recipe for Loaded Potato Skins which looked good and didn't look too unhealthy.  I really only used the recipe as a guideline.  I didn't brush butter on the potato skins.  Instead, I just used cooking spray.

The potato skins were OK, but they were a little dry.  I think I baked/broiled them for too long.  It was hard to tell when they were done.  I wanted the skins to be "crispy".
