Loaded Baked Potato Cheese Crisps Recipes

LOADED POTATO CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
• Prepare a baking sheet: line it with a piece of tin foil, then generously butter the foil with about 1 tbsp of cold butter. (Trust me, you need to butter it...that way the potatoes won't stick and will come off easily.)
• Leave your potatoes unpeeled, then slice them into 1/2 inch pieces.
• Lay them out on your baking sheet.
• Melt the remaining butter (about 2 tbsp), then generously brush the top of each potato slice with the butter.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the bottom of the crisp is golden brown. See notes.
• Then flip them over and bake for 10 more minutes.
• After this time, remove the pan from the oven, then evenly sprinkle the grated cheese on to the tops of each potato crisp.
• Put them back in the oven and bake for about 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

LOADED BAKED POTATO WITH CASHEW CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the loaded baked potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Using the tip of a knife or a fork, poke each potato 2 to 3 times. Place directly on the oven rack and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skins are crispy, 55 to 60 minutes.
• For the cashew cheese sauce: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the cashews, carrots, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 cups cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
• Carefully add the warm cashew mixture, including the liquid, to a blender. Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice and salt to taste. Blend on high speed, adding more water if necessary, until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
• After the potatoes have been cooking for about 35 minutes, prepare the broccoli. Spread the florets on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Roast until tender and starting to brown, about 20 minutes, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add the bacon and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain. Roughly chop the bacon into small pieces or julienne and set aside.
• Cut a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato and gently push the ends toward the center to open up the potatoes. Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork, if you like. Drizzle some of the cashew cheese sauce into each potato. Top each potato with broccoli, more cashew cheese sauce, bacon and chives.

LOADED BAKED POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spray a 3-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings.
• Put the potatoes into the prepared casserole dish. Toss with the reserved 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the potatoes are soft and begin to brown, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese and 1 cup Cheddar in a bowl until well combined. Dollop over the potatoes, then sprinkle with the remaining cup Cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are completely cooked through when poked with a knife, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Dollop the sour cream evenly over the casserole and sprinkle with the scallions and bacon pieces.

LOADED BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
• Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
• Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
• When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
• Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
• Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.
