Debbie S Potato Skins Recipes

HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch on the skin. Brush canola oil all over the potato skins, outside and inside, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve flesh for another use.
• Bake skins in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Arrange the potato skins flesh-side up on a roasting pan or rack. Sprinkle the insides with pepper, Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin and sprinkle with green onions.

DEBBIE'S POTATOES AND MEAT

Steps:

• Brown pork steak in oil. When done put pork steak in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Add salt and pepper.
• Peel and slice potatoes and put on top of pork. Slice green pepper, mushrooms and onion, and put on top of pork.
• In a bowl put in cream of mushroom soup with same amount of water, stir, and pour on top of meat, potatoes, and vegetables. Sprinkle paprika and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 1/2 hrs. Remove foil, and allow potatoes to brown.

SUZY'S POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pierce potatoes deeply with a fork and bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
• Increase the heat of the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out nearly all of the potato (reserve rest of potato for a later use of your choice). Salt and pepper the potato skins to taste. Sprinkle green onions, tomatoes, chilis and cheese into the potato skin. Arrange potato skins on a baking sheet.
• Bake 10 minutes, or until cheese has melted. You may want to cut the baked skins in half crosswise before serving for tidy eating. Serve with sour cream on the side, for people to scoop onto their potato skins if they'd like.
