Cheeseburger Potato Skins Recipes

CHEESEBURGERS POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Toppings: Grilled mini burgers, lettuce, tomato, ketchup and pickles on cheesy skins
• 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 15 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.)

HAMBURGER POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the potato skins liberally with vegetable oil. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• As the potatoes near the end of their cooking time, cook the meat. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the beef and garlic and season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Mix in the ketchup, seasoning salt, mustard and Worcestershire and set aside.
• Slice the baked potatoes in half lengthwise, then scrape out the inner flesh with a cookie scoop or spoon, leaving a small margin of potato in the skins (reserve the scooped-out flesh for another use). Brush both sides of the potato skins with vegetable oil. Add kosher salt and pepper liberally to both sides of the skins, then place them cut-side down on the baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake until crispy, another 10 minutes.
• Fill the potato skins with the meat mixture and top with the grated Cheddar. Top each with the shredded lettuce and pickles, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve.
