Optional Toppings

- sour cream
- bacon or prosciutto
- onion minced
Instructions
- Bake (or microwave) the potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Slice them in half lengthwise.
- Mash the cut sides with a fork to break up and flatten out the potato a little. Add salt and pepper along with any other desired toppings.
- Melt 2 – 3 tablespoons butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stick the potatoes in (skin side down) and fry until bottoms are brown and crispy. It should take 5 – 10 minutes.
