What is not to love about classic potato skins?! I made these twice now... yesterday for hubby and I to munch on during football, and again today for lunch. This is how I normally make potato skins, except your way bumps the flavor way up. I never thought of brushing the skins with garlic butter. Genius! I brushed the insides and outsides. Yummy! I served these with sour cream and chives. Definitely making them this way from now on. Thanks for posting. (Made for PRMR) -
