Prick potatoes with a fork. Bake for 1 hour at 425°. Let cool slightly.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp for other desired use, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Place potato shells on a baking sheet; spray inside of shells with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes or until crisp.

Cook's Notes
For fans desiring a less spicy 'skin, use one chipotle pepper and substitute water for the liquid from the can.
