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.

Ohhhh this looks so good.  Thanks for sharing and pinning :D  Must try!!!

I had the ingredients to make the spinach/garbanzo bean version of this, but had to make this instead! It was AMAZING!

Twice Baked Potatoes (Stuffed Jacket Potatoes)

tbsp canola or vegetable oil

tsp salt

/ 8 tbsp unsalted butter

cream ((pure

cheddar cheese (, shredded (Note 3))

green onions (, finely sliced)

tsp pepper

tbsp chives (, finely chopped (garnish))

Sour cream ((recommended!))

Preheat oven to 220°C / 430°F (200°C fan). Place a rack on a tray (recommended but not critical).

Prick potatoes: Wash, scrub and dry potatoes well. Prick each potato 8 times with a fork.

Oil and salt: Put potatoes in a bowl, pour over oil and rub onto potatoes. Then sprinkle over salt and use your hands to coat. (Just do this as best you can. Some will stick, much will not!)

Bake: Place potatoes on rack and bake for 75 minutes or until you can pierce with a small knife with no resistance.

Bake potatoes:

Cook bacon: Place bacon in a cold non-stick pan over medium heat. When the fat starts to melt, turn the heat up to high and cook bacon until golden. Drain on paper towels.

Heat butter and cream: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then add cream and heat until hot, but don&#039;t let it boil. (You could also do this in a microwave)

Prepare filling add-ins:

Lower oven: Turn oven down to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).

Scoop out potato flesh: Allow potatoes to cool enough so you can handle them (or use a tea towel). Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out potato flesh, leaving 0.7cm (1/3&quot;) thick layer of potato still stuck to skin.

Mash potato: Place potato flesh in a bowl and mash while hot until smooth.

Add-ins: Add half the cheese (save the rest for topping), most of the bacon (save a bit for garnish), all the green onion, hot cream and butter, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Stuff potatoes:

Stuff and top with cheese: Fill potato skins with the mashed potato mixture. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is melted, golden and bubbly.

Serve: Serve immediately, garnish with sour cream, reserved bacon and chives.

Bake again!

I made this tonight for dinner and was such a delicious meal my family really enjoyed this. Thank you for the wonderful recipe will be making this more often.

YUM!!! love all your recipes. 
I didn’t have any cream but had left over white cheese sauce from the night before so added this and a lil sour cream. Soooo good.

Oh my, these are so good!! They were just as tasty the following day, reheated in the oven. Absolutely delicious!

So good! Cut it in half to make two potatoes worth and added some smoked paprika.. definitely recommend adding that!

Another excellent recipe. I always have some in the freezer ready to heat up….

I love this recipe. I am vegan so I "veganize" it by using some plant based ingredients and some homemade seitan strips, and it turns out amazing. Thanks for the versatile recipe!

Absolutely delicious, oh so very creamy!!! 
I added more bacon and more green onions bcuz I just love the combination of the two.
These didn't even need sour cream, they are an OMG twice baked potato, yum! And thank you!

These are SO GOOD! You have to try them. I have done both ways cream/or sour cream. Go for it.

Loved this, I chopped mushrooms and fried with the bacon because I had them. I will definitely make them again.

Heavenly! Our whole family enjoyed this dish. Hubby and I hid the leftovers so the kids won’t find them.
