1. Scrub and rinse the potatoes, pierce each 3-4 times with a knife tip, and microwave about 12 minutes until tender.
2. Let the potatoes cool for a while.
3. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
4. Cut the bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and fry in one layer over medium heat until crisp. Keep the fat if using it in the next step.
5. Melt the butter or bacon fat and stir in the chili powder and paprika.
6. Cut each potato into quarters lengthwise and hollow out the insides, leaving a 1/4 to 1/3-inch shell of skin.
7. Lay the skins on a baking sheet or cast iron skillet, brush all cut sides with the seasoned butter, and sprinkle a pinch or two of salt on each.
8. Bake at 450°F for 30-35 minutes until very brown and crisp.
9. Take out, sprinkle with the cheese and bacon, and bake another 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
