--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      medium        baking potatoes
                        vegetable oil
                        seasoned salt
   1      cup           cheddar cheese, shredded
   6      slices        bacon, cooked and crumbled
                        sour cream
                        jalapenos
                        picante sauce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Scrub potatoes thoroughly and rub skin with oil.  Bake for 1 hour or until
done.  Allow potatoes to cool to touch.  Cut in half lengthwise.  Carefully
scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4 to 1/8 inch shells.  (Save pulp for another
recipe.)  Cut skins in half crosswise and deep fry in hot oil for 2 to 3
minutes or until lightly browned.  Drain on paper towels.  Place skins on
baking sheet.  Sprinkle with salt, cheese, and bacon.  Place under broiler
until cheese melts.  Serve with sour cream, jalapenos, and picante sauce.
