Cheesy Shepherds Pie Potato Skins Recipes

SHEPHERD'S PIE POTATO BOWLS

Steps:

• Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and brush them with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Put on a microwave-safe plate and microwave, flipping halfway, until fork tender, about 20 minutes. (Alternately, bake in the oven at 400 degrees F on a baking sheet until cooked through and fork tender, about 1 hour.) Let cool slightly.
• Cut a 1/4-inch-thick slice off the top of each potato. Carefully scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with the milk, sour cream, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon salt using a fork or potato masher. Fold in the chives. Put the potato bowls on a baking sheet.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire, tomato paste, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup water and bring to a boil, and then reduce heat and cook until the beef and carrots are coated in sauce with a little extra sitting on the bottom of the pan, about 1 minute. Stir in the peas until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Spoon the beef mixture into the potato bowls. Spoon or pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture and bake until heated through and the potatoes brown on top, about 15 minutes. Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into 4 slices and top each potato with one.

SHEPHERD'S PIE POTATO SKINS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Prick the potatoes with a fork (about 6 times on each potato) and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Then turn and microwave for a further 5 minutes. Pierce with a knife to check if they are cooked. Remove from microwave (use a dish cloth or hot pad). Cut off the tops and scoop out the center using a spoon, leaving a fairly thin skin (about 0.5 cm / 0.2"). Place the potato scooped out in a bowl. Add milk, butter and salt and mash with a potato masher until smooth, or to your liking. If you want to pipe the filling, place the mashed potato into a piping back with a large star tip nozzle. Filling: Meanwhile, make the filling. Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until softened. Turn up heat to high. Add mince beef (ground beef) and cook, breaking up the mince as you go, until nicely browned and cooked, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle over flour and stir to combine. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to simmer and continue to stir until the sauce is thick and glossy, around 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Assemble potatoes: Fill each potato with the potato mixture so it is slightly heaped. Push down lightly to pack the filling in well. Pipe over the mashed potato, or scoop it on with a spoon then fluff it up with a fork. You probably won't use all of it - save the remainder or serve it on the side. Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the mashed potato is starting to brown on the ridges. Serve immediately!

Steps:

• Prick the potatoes all over with a fork. Working in two batches, place the potatoes directly on the microwave turntable and microwave for 10-15 minutes or until soft when pricked with a knife.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half horizontally. Scoop the flesh into a bowl, leaving a small layer of potato in the skins.
• Place the potato skins, flesh side down on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Reserve the potato flesh for another use.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and thyme. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

• Sprinkle the flour over and stir, cooking for 1 minute.
• Add the beef broth and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes.
• Add the peas and carrots and let simmer for 5-7 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Turn heat to low, cover, and keep warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prick the potatoes with a fork and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rotate and cook another 5 minutes. Test with a knife to make sure they're done.
• Cut the tops off the potatoes and scoop the insides into a bowl, leaving a ¼-inch wall around the skin.
• Add the milk, butter and salt to the bowl of potato and mash until smooth. If you'll be piping the potatoes, place them into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and reserve for later.
• In a sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
• Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through.
