Baked potato skins - yummy!

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
2 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
Skins from 8 large baking potatoes
Freshly ground black pepper & salt to taste
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese

How to cook:

Melt the 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. When the butter is hot add the garlic. Saute the garlic until softened and fragrant (about 2 1/5 minutes). Wash the potatoes and then cut each potato skin in half lengthwise into 2 equal pieces. Brush the bottom and interior of each piece with the garlic butter. Place each piece, scooped side up, on a shallow baking sheet. Sprinkle with ground pepper and salt to taste. Scatter the grated cheese lightly on top of the buttered skins. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the cookie sheet in the upper third of the oven. Bake the skins for 30-45 minutes or until hot, crisp and golden.
