Potato Skins

While this dish is technically “real food” the amount of butter used is what keeps it from showing up on our table on a weekly basis.

Ingreadient

• 5 potatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• cheese
• sour cream
• bacon (or prosciutto)
• onion (minced)

Step by step

1. Bake (or microwave) the potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork.
2. Slice them in half lengthwise.
3. Mash the cut sides with a fork to break up and flatten out the potato a little. Add salt and pepper along with any other desired toppings.
4. Melt 2 – 3 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stick the potatoes in (skin side down) and fry until bottoms are brown and crispy. It should take 5 – 10 minutes. Enjoy!
