There is a good reason potato skins have been around for so long – now try them with Finishing Sauce!

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, cleaned with skins on
  • 14 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 12 cup prepared El Dorado Sauce
  • 1 cup grated cheese, optional

Preparation

  1. Cut each potato in half and rinse in cold water. Place in Multipurpose Steamer and microwave with lid on, approximately 10–15 minutes, until tender. Alternatively, pierce whole potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350° F (175° C) until tender, approximately 1 hour.
  2. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1⁄4-inch shell. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with Salt and Pepper. Bake, skin-side up, at 450° F (230° C) until crisp, about 15 minutes.
  3. Serve with a dollop of El Dorado Sauce and cheese, if desired.
