Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 1.5 pounds of small yellow potatoes
- 3 Tbsp butter

- Slice potatoes in half length-wise and scoop out the potato until just a thin layer remains.
- Melt butter in a small bowl and mix in spices.
- Brush inside and outside of potato skins with butter.
- Place cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, flip them over and fill with shredded cheese and diced bacon.
