Grilled Potato Skins

~ from RecipeZaar ~

 

These are excellent potato skins and could go as an appetizer or serve with a meal. The cooking time was right on. Crisp on the outside and nice texture on the inside. We loved the rosemary in this. Altered a little from the original Taste Of Home recipe.

• 2 large baking potatoes, cleaned and dried
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1-2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, crushed or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
