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.

I don't really like potato skins by my husband does so I made these. As good as a restaurant. I used shredded cheddar for the cheese.

I baked them in the microwave- scooped them- rubbed the outside with oil & sprinkled with garlic salt- put in the oven skin side up to crisp them some. Used shredded cheese on some & velvetta on others. Real bacon if u want to really impress & have time.

Made this for the first time today and loved it. My husband and daughter weren't too crazy about them, which absolutely surprised me. I even left some without sour cream for my husband. For a crispier skin, I rubbed oil on the potatoes, and then salted them before putting them in the over for an hour and 15 minutes. I followed the recipe exactly, however, next time I will be using shredded cheddar instead of the Cheez Whiz.

I did everything in the recipe but it didn't taste like the one at the resturant. Is there any way to make the skins crispy and not burn it. Help! I really want to make it again.

Very good. I used shredded cheddar cheese instead of melted cheese whiz and just put it back in the oven for a minute longer to melt the cheese.

I have not made this yet but wanted to answer the question of the previous poster, jesmar. The recipe states that the 2 lbs potatoes, baked. So they should be baked when you begin the recipe. Hope that helps.

Can someone please tell me how to scoop the insides out of a raw potato. I think next time I will microwave the potato first so it's softer.

I made these for the game on Sunday and everyone loved them. I used shredded Chedder cheese instead of the cheese whiz. Came out great!

Made these for a football party and they were so easy to make! I baked the potatoes in plastic wrap in the microwave to cut down on cooking time and then followed the rest of the recipe in the oven.

Tasted good. Took some effort though.
