Roasted Garlic Potato Skins

Ingredients : 

Potatoes	6
Unsalted Butter	1 stick
Garlic Cloves	20
Seasoning	1/2 tsp

Directions :

• Prick each potato once or twice with a fork and rub a small amount of olive oil all over the potato (makes a nice crispy shell.). Wrap garlic in heavy foil topped with about 3 tablespons olive oil. Bake garlic and potatoes on same rack in lower third of oven until potatoes are tender, 50 minutes to an hour, Remove potatoes from oven and cool on a metal rack. Continue to bake garlic until tender and golden grown, about 15 minutes more, then cool in foil on rack.
• While garlic cools, halve potatoes lengthwise, then quarter each half to form short wedges. Scoop out potato pulp (reserving it for another use), leaving 1/4-inch-thick potato skins.

• Increase oven temperature to 425°F.
• Using a fork, mash garlic cloves to a paste in a small bowl with butter, salt, and pepper.
• Divide garlic paste among potato skins (about 1 teaspoon each), spreading evenly, then roast skins in a large shallow baking pan (1 inch deep) until golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Serve with bacon bits, sour cream and chives on the side so your guests can top their own skins!
• Potato skins can be scooped out and spread with garlic paste 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered with foil. Bring to room temperature before baking as directed.
