Preheat oven to 375°F. Prick each potato with a fork. Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked and tender. Let cool until you are able to comfortably touch them.
Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out potato insides and set aside. Place potato skins on baking sheet with the skin side down.
Mix melted butter, paprika, onion powder and garlic powder in a bowl. Brush the insides of the potato skins with the butter mixture.
Broil potatoes in the oven for about 8 to 12 minutes or until browned and slightly crisp. Make sure to watch them so they don’t burn.
Remove from oven and add shredded cheese to each potato skin. Broil another minute or until cheese is melted.
Top each skin with bacon, a dollop of sour cream and green onions. Serve hot. Makes 8 potato skins.
