INGREDIENTS:
6 small baking
potatoes (4 to 5 in. long)
1/4 cup butter
or margarine
1/4 teaspoon
paprika
pinch of pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to
400 degrees. Scrub potatoes, pat dry, and rub skins
lightly with a
little of the butter. Pierce potatoes in several places
with a fork.
Bake potatoes until tender when pierced (45 minutes to 1
hour). When cool
enough to handle, cut in halves lengthwise and scoop
out potato,
leaving a thin shell about 1/8 inch thick. Reserve potato
for other
dishes. Place skins on a baking sheet. Melt butter in a
small pan with
paprika and white pepper. Stir. Brush insides of potato
skins with
butter mixture. Bake potato skins until crisp and golden
(18 to 20
minutes).
Extras: For
variety, try adding grated Cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon,
green onion, or
chives.)
Yield: Serves 6
