What You Need

baking potatoes (2 lb.), baked

Tbsp. oil

jar (15 oz.) CHEEZ WHIZ Cheese Dip

1/4

cup OSCAR MAYER Real Bacon Bits

1/2

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

green onions, sliced

Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

CUT potatoes lengthwise in half; scoop out centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. (Reserve centers for another use.) Cut shells crosswise in half.

PLACE shells, skin-sides down, on baking sheet; brush insides of shells lightly with oil. Bake 15 min. or until golden brown.

MICROWAVE CHEEZ WHIZ in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 3 min., stirring after 1-1/2 min. Spoon into potato shells; top with remaining ingredients.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Savor every bite of this warm appetizer. Each serving, 1 potato skin, goes a long way on flavor.

Shortcut

Prepare as directed, substituting frozen waffle fries or french fries for the baked potato shells. Bake fries as directed on package. Place on serving plate. Serve topped with remaining ingredients.

Substitute

To prepare using VELVEETA® instead of the CHEEZ WHIZ, cut 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA into 1/2-inch cubes; place in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 3 min. or until melted, stirring after 1-1/2 min. Pour into potato shells, then top with remaining ingredients as directed.

This recipe is delicious, to make it even more special, you should add a little something of your own. I added with some of mines, chopped ham, bits of shrimps,chunks of baked tomatoes and etc.

These were great skins. I used shredded cheddar instead of the cheese wiz and they came out great

Undecided on whether I'd make this again. I had trouble with it but it still came out pretty good.

I was very impressed with this recipe! I followed the recipe except I used low fat mexican shredded cheese for the cheese wiz. They were very cripsy and even good for lunch today! Thanks!

These were alright. Nothing to them and a nice quick appetizer to throw together, but nothing special.

I usually deep fry my potato skins, but will be trying this way during superbowl. I also like to put chili and cheese in them.

this was a bit more time labor than the recipe had stated. wasted 6 potatoes, I will continue buying them frozen from the store.

Fantastic ... goes well with creamy tomato soup. Used grated sharp cheddar and fried slices of bacon to crumble. Put under broiler to melt cheese. Will do again and again!!
