My grandfather loved to eat baked potatoes, and at the end of the meal, he would take the potato skin cut into two halves, put a pat of butter in each half and eat the skin. Of course I learned this strange but wonderful practice from him.
So Baked Potato Skins aren’t all that unusual for me. And in these days, why not use the whole potato to eat? Of course, I have to plan on two dishes, as I eat the potato, skin and all, no matter what- boiled mashed or baked. Start out by baking 6 large russet potatoes or your favorite baking potato; when they are done, scoop the inside out of the potatoes; (save for baked potato salad or other dish), until 1/4 inch of the potato shell remains, reserve the inside of the potato for baked potato salad and save the skin to make baked potato skins
