SALSA POTATO SKINS 
5 lg. russet potatoes (approx. 3 lb.)
3/4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

1/3 c. butter, melted

CHILI SALSA:

1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies

Scrub potatoes, pierce with fork. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour (until feel soft when squeezed). Let stand until cool to touch.

Chili Salsa: Stir together tomato sauce, diced green chilies and chopped green onions. Pour into serving bowl. Can refrigerate up to a day.

Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters. With spoon, scoop flesh from skins leaving 1/8 inch thick shell. Reserve flesh for other uses. Brush skins inside and out with butter. Sprinkle with salt and/or onion salt. Place cut-side-up in single layer on 12 x 15 inch baking sheet. Bake at 500 degrees approximately 12 minutes (until crisp).
