Poutine Potato Skins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 package McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
  • 1 small handful of french fries cooked
  • 1 cup of white cheese curds
  • scallions sliced (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Poke the top of each potato with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 1 hour. Once cooked, remove from the baking sheet, and place on a plate to let cool for about 15 minutes.
  • Once your potatoes are cooled, use a sharp bread knife and you will cut lengthwise. With a small spoon, being careful, scoop out about 70 percent of the potato, as you still want some potato in your boat.
  • Next, melt your butter in the microwave. Get your broiler heated to high. Brush the butter on the inside and outside of each potato skin and place them back onto the baking sheet. Season the inside of each skin with salt and pepper.
  • Place them under the broiler for 8-10 minutes until the insides get a bit crispy from the melted butter.
  • During this time, make your brown gravy by emptying the package into a small sauce pan and add 1 cup of water. Mix, and bring to a simmer.
