Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and bake them in the

cool, halve them lengthwise, and scoop them out, leaving a 1/4-inch
shell and reserving the potato pulp for another use. Cut each shell
lengthwise into 6 strips and arrange the strips on a baking sheet.
Brush the strips with the oil, sprinkle them with paprika, the salt,
and pepper to taste, and bake them in the middle of the preheated
425°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are crisp and
golden brown. Serve the potato skins with the sour cream.
