Directions
1.
HEAT oven to 450 degrees F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. (Refrigerate removed potato centers for another use.) Cut shells crosswise in half. Place, skin-sides down, on baking sheet; brush with butter.
2.
BAKE 20 to 25 min. or until crisp and golden brown.
3.
FILL shells with VELVEETA; continue baking until VELVEETA begins to melt. Top with remaining ingredients.
HOT TO BAKE POTATOES: Russet potatoes are the best for baking. Scrub potatoes well, blot dry and rub the skin with a little oil and salt. Prick the skin of the potatoes with a fork so steam can escape. Stand them on end in a muffin tin. Bake at 425 degrees F for 45 min. to 1 hour or until tender.
HOW TO USE GREEN ONIONS: Green onions add a deliciously mild onion flavor to foods. To use them, trim off the roots and remove any wilted, brown or damaged tops, then slice and use as much of the white end and green shoot as you like.
