Grilled Potato Skins

4-6 Yukon Gold potatoes (I tried russet & didn't like them as much)
2 Tbsp butter/margarine, melted (we use vegan so Brennan can eat 'em)
garlic salt to taste
garlic powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Cut potatoes into quarters lengthwise. Cut away half of the potato from the skins and discard (or save for another meal). Place potato skins on microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until tender, turning over halfway. Brush with melted butter/margarine, garlic salt and garlic powder. Cook skin-side up on preheated grilled over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Turn over and cook 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

My kids LOVE these. They think they are french fries and dip them in ketchup. The recipe I got from allrecipes.com said to top with shredded cheddar cheese, cover and cook until cheese is melted, then sprinkle with crumbled cooked bacon and green onions and serve with sour cream. I haven't tried all that yet, but it does sound good. Also, instead of the garlic salt and garlic pepper, it calls for 2 tsp fresh minced rosemary, but Dave isn't a fan of rosemary, so I use the garlic instead.
