Preparation

Step 1

Lightly brush each potato with oil and bake at 375 degrees for approximately 45 minutes. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out the centers, leaving 1/4 inch of potato attached to the skin.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and paprika. Lightly brush the interior of the potatoes with oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Re-bake skins at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with toppings and accompaniments.
