Scrub potatoes, dry, then pierce with fork several
times. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake in 375 oven
for about 1 hour or until tender. Let stand until cook
enough to handle. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and
scoop out center, leaving 1/8" potato in shell. Cover.
Chill shells up to 2 days until ready to use for the
skins.
If desired, add the 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter,
salt and pepper to potato centers to use for mashed
potatoes.
When ready to prepare skins, melt the 1/3 cup
butter. Brush shells with the butter, inside and out.
Place, cut side up, on baking sheet. Bake in a 500
oven for 10 minutes or until brown and crisp.
Distribute some bacon, onion and cheese in each
shell. Bake just until cheese melts. Serve hot. If
the potatoes are large, you may want to cut in half
crosswise before serving.
