1/3 cup milk 1/4 cup butter salt and pepper a few drops hot sauce Scrub potatoes, dry, then pierce with fork several times.
Arrange on a baking sheet and bake in 375 degree oven for about 1 hour or until tender.
Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out centers, leaving 1/8" potato in shell.
Cover.
Chill shells up to 2 days until ready to use for the skins.
If desired, add the 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, salt and pepper to use potato centers as mashed potatoes.
When ready to prepare skins, melt the 1/3 cup butter.
Brush shells with the butter, inside and out. Place, cut side up, on baking sheet. Bake in a 500 degree oven for 20 minutes or until brown and crisp.
Distribute some bacon, onion, and cheese in each shell.
