Ingredients:
8 russet (baking) potatoes (about 1/2 pound each), scrubbed, patted dry, and rubbed with olive oil |
olive oil for brushing the potato skins |
sweet paprika for sprinkling the potato skins |
fine sea salt or coarse salt for sprinkling the potato skins |
sour cream as an accompaniment if desired |
Directions:
1. Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 1 hour. Let the potatoes cool, halve them lengthwise, and scoop them out, leaving a 1/4-inch shell and reserving the potato pulp for another use. Cut each shell lengthwise into 6 strips and arrange the strips on a baking sheet. Brush the strips with the oil, sprinkle them with paprika, the salt, and pepper to taste, and bake them in the middle of the preheated 425°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown. Serve the potato skins with the sour cream.
