Baked Potato Skins

Ingredients

• 8 russet (baking) potatoes (about 1/2 lb. each), scrubbed, patted dry, and rubbed with olive oil
• olive oil for brushing potato skins
• sweet paprika for sprinkling potato skins
• fine sea salt or coarse salt for sprinkling potato skins
• sour cream as an accompaniment if desired

Directions

Prick potatoes a few times with fork and bake in middle of preheated 425° oven 1 hour. Let potatoes cool, halve lengthwise, and scoop out, leaving 1/4-inch shell and reserving potato pulp for another use. Cut each shell lengthwise into 6 strips and arrange strips on baking sheet. Brush strips with oil, sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, and bake in middle of preheated 425° oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. Serve potato skins with sour cream.
