What to make with a baked potato?

My SO always grills potatoes when he makes food. They very rarely get eaten and I like to scoop the potato out, and save the skin. So it's not the whole potato that I would appreciate some suggestions for, it is just the inside of the potato.

My grandparents went through the depression and had a lot of food insecurity. They passed that down to my mom, especially because we didn't have a lot of money growing up. She utilized absolutely EVERYTHING. One of the things that she would do is save the potato skins every time we had baked potatoes.

When you go out to a restaurant and order potato skins it's pretty much half of a potato with toppings on it. My mom made just the skins and put them in the oven and made them extremely crispy and then you put your green onions and cheese and sour cream on it. My SO said they were the best potato skins he ever had!

I am just at a loss for what to make with the potato and would appreciate some ideas. Last time I posted for ideas about a can of chicken and ended up having a great meal because you guys are all awesome!

And since everybody appreciated seeing my beautiful Blue point Birman girl last time I posted I made sure to include the kitty I just got yesterday, a red point boy! He really liked the potatoes too 😁
