How to Make Texas Tater Skins
Pierce each potato a couple of times with a fork and microwave, following your microwave instructions for baked potatoes, until tender.
Let potatoes cool slightly then cut in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the centers of each half, leaving plenty of potato with the skin. Place the skins on a cookie sheet or jellyroll pan.
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the beans down the center of each half. Top each half with shredded cheese blended with green onions. Broil about 6 inches from the heat until cheese is bubbling.
Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin if desired. Serve with Sriracha sauce (or similar hot sauce) if desired.
