Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Serve these potato skins with sour cream and chives, shredded cheese, salsa, bacon bits, or other toppings. INGREDIENTS:

4 large baking potatoes, scrubbed
salt
pepper
oil for deep frying
sour cream mixed with chives, optional
shredded cheese, optional

PREPARATION:

Prick potatoes in several places with a fork; bake in a 400° oven until tender, about 1 hour.
Remove, cool slightly, and cut in halves lengthwise. Scoop out potatoes and refrigerate for another meal or casserole topping.

Cut skins in half again.
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°. Place potato skins in deep fryer basket; lower into oil and deep fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until skins are browned and crisp.
