6 Medium potatoes (about 2 lbs.)
¼ cup Butter/margarine, melted
Salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes and pierce each one several times with a fork. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender. Cut each potato lengthwise into 4 quarters. Scoop potato pulp from skins leaving a 1/8" thick shell. (Save pulp for another recipe.) Brush skins inside and out with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place skins, skin side down, on a baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until crisp. Serve hot. (You can also add cheese and bacon bits and return to oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes.)
