potato skins

Crispy garlic buttered potato skins filled with cheese and bacon are the perfect appetizer!

Crispy Oven Baked Potato Skins

potatoes

unsalted butter (melted)

parsley

salt

garlic powder

bacon (finely chopped or 3 tablespoons bacon bits)

chives (or green onions)

cheddar cheese

sour cream (for serving)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine butter, parsley, seasoned salt and garlic powder in a small bowl. Set aside.

Ensure baked potatoes are cooled. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh leaving a 1/4" shell (or more if you'd prefer).

Brush both the inside and outside of the potatoes with the butter mixture. Place potatoes cut side down in baking dish. Bake 15 minutes.

Flip potatoes over and bake an additional 5 minutes or until slightly browned and crisp.

Fill each potato with cheese and bacon. Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven, top with chives and serve with sour cream.

Yummy cheesy potatoes….with fried eggs and bacon

Fully Loaded Potato Skins with Chipotle Southwest Guacamole.

butter (melted)

salt and pepper (to taste)

cheddar cheese (shredded)

bacon

onions

sour cream or greek yogurt (for serving)

buffalo sauce (for serving)

eggs

avocados (pitted)

cilantro (chopped)

jalapeño (seeded + chopped)

juice and zest from 1 lime

in chipotle pepper adobo (chopped + 1 tablespoon adobo sauce)

cumin

corn

black beans (rinsed

catija cheese (crumbled)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes clean then prick all over with a fork. Bake the potatoes for about an hour or until the potatoes are cooked through and give a little when pressed.

To cook the potatoes in the microwave, rub all over with olive oil and cook on the high setting for about 5 minutes per potato. I have found that I prefer baking the potatoes in the oven and think oven baked potatoes are easier to work with.

While the potatoes cook, fry the bacon in a skillet or on a griddle until crisp. Drain on paper towels, allow to cool and then crumble the bacon.

To make the guacamole, mash the avocados in a medium size bowl (I left mine pretty chunky, but go as chunky or as smooth as you like). Add the cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, chipotle chile in adobo + adobo sauce, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and fold in the roasted corn, black beans and cotija cheese.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and increase the heat of the oven to 450 degrees F.

Allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle and then cut in half horizontally. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the insides, reserving the scooped potatoes for another use and leaving about 1/4 of an inch of potato on the skin.

Brush or rub both the inside and outside of the skins with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan, bake for about 10-15 minutes or until crisp. Remove from oven and divide the cheddar cheese among the shells. Sprinkle with bacon. Place back in the oven and broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove and sprinkle with green onions and any remaining bacon. Serve warm with guacamole, yogurt and fried eggs.

These healthy chipotle sweet potato skins are stuffed with a chipotle-sweet potato filling, black beans, corn, and topped with cheese.

Healthy Chipotle Sweet Potato Skins

sweet potatoes

corn,

black beans,

butter

yellow onion, chopped

INDIVIDUAL chipotle peppers

light cream cheese

sour cream or Greek yogurt

cilantro, roughly chopped

shredded cheese (Pepperjack, Cheddar, Colby Jack… anything will work)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes.

While sweet potatoes are baking, place corn in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with no butter or oil. Sprinkle with salt and other Mexican seasoning (as much as you want &#8211; thinking taco seasoning or a mix of chili powder and cumin). Do not stir! Let corn roast for several minutes before stirring. Let it roast for a few more minutes before stirring again. Continue this for about 10 minutes, until corn is browned and roasted on the outside. Set aside in a small bowl with the black beans.

Saute the onion in the butter over medium heat until soft and translucent. Set aside.

Remove sweet potatoes from the oven when fork-tender. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut the sweet potatoes in half. Scrape the flesh of the sweet potatoes out, leaving the skins intact. Sometimes leaving a thin layer of potato inside of the skins helps them hold together better.

Mix the flesh of the sweet potatoes with the cream cheese, sour cream, chipotle peppers, and salt. You can use a mixer or just a spoon, depending on how soft the potatoes are. When well-mixed, gently stir in the black beans, roasted corn, sauteed onions, and cilantro.

Scoop the filling into the skins and top each with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Broil for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
