Obviously

Used to be (back in the 1980's) "stuffed potato skins" were a big thing on
many menus as an appetizer. I have no idea what they did with the middle of
the potatoes but the skins were served topped with cheese, sour cream,
chives. Or bacon bits and cheese. One restaurant I went to had them topped
with cubed round steak that was sauteed in a red wine sauce and I went home
and re-created it. Potato skins can be wonderful and of course the salt on
the outside helps a lot. Plain old potato skins are pretty boring.
