kland01s, try rubbing the potatoes with bacon fat before the initial cooking….those skins come out crispy AND flavorfull! Other yummy things you can add (as the men at the Kulis Air National Guard Base will attest to) to the filling are crispy fried bacon, scallions, chives and cheddar cheese. Copius amounts of butter are necessary as is heavy cream. Hey, this isn’t Jenny Craig, for heaven’s sake! [:p][}:)]
