TWICE BAKED POTATO POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half. With a melon baller, scoop centers out of each potato, leaving a thick shell. Place scooped-out potato centers into a bowl. Arrange hollowed-out potato halves onto a baking sheet.
• Mash scooped-out potato centers in a bowl with green salsa and butter; season with salt and black pepper.
• Spoon the mixture lightly into the hollowed-out potatoes; do not overfill. Top each filled potato half with a pinch of white Cheddar cheese.
