Gourmet Potato Skins Recipes

FRISCO GOURMET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Toppings: Artichokes pureed with goat cheese, garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil
• How to Make Classic Potato Skins:
• Pierce 4 large russet potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350 degrees until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin-side up, at 450 degrees until crisp, about 20 minutes. Add your favorite team toppings. (For cheesy skins, flip the baked shells over before topping, sprinkle with 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.)

Steps:

• Rinse potatoes, slice in half lengthwise, then put on a baking dish; bake in a preheated 400°F oven for an hour or until just tender, turning once.
• After the potatoes have cooled slightly, in half lengthwise and, using a small spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato lining each half; brush the potato halves inside & out with butter and place on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle with half the cheese, fill the potatoes with bacon; season with salt & freshly ground pepper, dry parsley and top with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until hot & bubbling.
• While the potatoes are baking for the last time it`s a good idea to mash the insides of the potatoes (scooped out earlier) by mashing with potato masher adding milk, pepper, salt.
• Top with parsley and leftover bacon bits.
