Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Do not bake the potatoes in a microwave for this recipe, because the skins will become too soft. Prepare a cookie sheet with nonstick pan spray.
  2. Wash the potatoes and poke them with a fork or the tip of a knife in several places. Bake the potatoes 1 hour, or until tender; cool.
  3. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the pulp, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. (Reserve the pulp for another use). Cut each shell in half lengthwise; place on a cookie sheet.
  4. Combine the salsa and margarine; brush over the insides of shells. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the skins with cheese; return to the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
  6. Variation Instructions:
  7. For a milder flavor, use Monterey Jack cheese without jalapeños. To increase the spice quotient, use a hot salsa.
  8. Bake the potatoes any time within two days of serving, then complete the final preparation while the oven is preheating.
