Roast potatoes in the oven for 30-45 minutes until they are fully cooked, but not very soft; cool.3

Brush cavities of the potato skins with butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper.5
Heat oven to Broil.6
Broil the seasoned skins for 5-10 minutes, until they crisp up, being careful not to burn.7

A great side dish to dinner tonight. I chose to use the pecans. The brie gave it excellent flavor.
