Method

1
Scrub potatoes and rub skins with oil. Prick each potato several times with a fork.
2
Bake potatoes at 400°F for 30–45 minutes or until potatoes are done. Allow potatoes to cool to touch.
Oven
3
Cut top third off each potato; discard tops. Carefully scoop out pulp, leaving about ⅛ inch-thick shells. Reserve potato pulp for other uses.
4
Fry potato skins in hot oil (375°F) for 3–4 minutes or until browned. Remove potato skins and drain on paper towels.
Stovetop
5
Place potato skins, cut side up, on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and cheddar cheese. Broil 6 inches from heat for 30 seconds or until cheese melts.
Oven
6
Top potato skins with bacon if using them and 1 tablespoon chives.
7
Press green chiles between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine chilies, sour cream and red pepper in a small bowl; stir well. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon chives. Serve with potato skins.
