Mexican Potato Skin Bites Recipes

MEXICAN POTATO SKINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scrub potatoes and dry thoroughly. Pierce all sides of each potato with a fork.
• Bake potatoes directly on middle oven rack for 35-45 minutes, or until easily pierced through the middle with a knife. (*Baking time will depend on the size of your potatoes. Mine took 35 minutes.)
• Allow the potatoes to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
• Preheat broiler to 500° F or high.
• Cut each potato in half and scoop out the middle, leaving a bit of potato in each skin. Save the potato fillings to use in another dish.
• Using a basting brush, brush both sides of the potatoes with melted butter and sprinkle generously with sea salt.
• Place potatoes skin side up on prepared baking sheet on the middle oven rack. Broil for 6-7 minutes or until butter starts to bubble and skins become crispy. Be sure to keep an eye on them so they don't burn!
• Fill each potato skin with a small spoonful of taco meat and top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Broil another 4-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown.
• Top each potato with a few black olives, tomatoes, and green onions. Dollop with sour cream and salsa if desired.
• Serve warm.
