8 Large baking potatoes
1/2 cup Butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 cup Finely chopped green onions

1/2 cup Chopped green peppers
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Bake potatoes at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Cool slightly; cut in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4 in. shell. (Save removed potato pulp for another use.)

Cut skins into strips or halves; brush skin sides with butter and place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle pulp sides with salt and paprika; top each with the green onions, bacon, ham or shrimp, chopped peppers and cheese.
