Picante Potato Skins

Ingredients

• 3 baking potatoes (about 1 pound total)
• 3 tablespoons prepared salsa or picante sauce
• 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
• 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Do not bake the potatoes in the 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.
