Preparation / Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly; pierce with the tip of a knife and bake directly on the oven rack until tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile, make the salsa: In a bowl, combine the tomato, corn, black beans, cucumber, scallion, 2 tablespoon olive oil, green pepper, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno; add salt to taste.
Halve the potatoes lengthwise and, using a teaspoon, carefully remove all but 1/8"-1/4" of the potato, leaving the skin intact. Reserve the insides of the potatoes for another use. Brush the inside of the potato shells lightly with the 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Preheat the broiler.
Place the potato skins cut side up on a baking sheet and broil 3-4" from the flame for 5 minutes. Turn the skins over and broil on the other side for 1 minute.
Spoon the salsa into the potato skins, dividing it evenly. Sprinkle with the cheese, dividing it evenly. Broil the skins just until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
