Preparation
Scrub potatoes and prick with fork.
Bake at 400 °F (200 °C) 1 hour or until cooked; let cool. Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters.
Scoop out flesh, leaving 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick shell; reserve scooped potato for other uses. Brush skins, inside and out, with butter. Place cut-side-up in single layer on large baking sheet. Increase oven to 500 °F (200 °C) and bake skins 12 minutes or until crisp.
When done, sprinkle skins with taco seasoning and top with cheese. Return to oven until it is melted.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine taco sauce, tomato and parsley. When hot, spoon over potato skins and serve.
