Overstuffed Potato Skins Recipes

STUFFED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F
• Pierce the potatoes with a fork, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush with the olive oil. Roast, uncovered, until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Halve the potatoes; using a melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl. Return the potato skins to the baking sheet. Coarsely mash the potato flesh in the bowl and stir in the cheese, sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Sprinkle the insides of the skins with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; stuff each with the potato-cheese mixture and sprinkle paprika on top (if using).
• Bake the stuffed potato skins until golden-brown on top, about 15 to 20 minutes.

STUFFED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the middle of each, leaving enough to keep the skin intact and stable.
• Put the raw potato flesh into a food processor along with onion, 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend ingredients together until it is the consistency of a very rough puree (be sure not to blend to a paste). Spoon mixture back into potato shells; top with the remaining Cheddar and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the potatoes to a golden brown, in batches if necessary. This should take 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Once golden brown, remove and hold on the baking sheet for stuffing.
• In a mixer, whip the reserved scooped potatoes on low until mixed. Add the butter, sour cream, parsley and Cajun spice. Mix until well blended, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the mixer.
• Add the cheese and mix well with a spoon. Then "re-stuff" the skins with the pork and then top with the cheeses. Bake until the cheese is melted, 15 to 18 minutes.

• Mash the potato flesh and soured cream together using a fork or masher. Stir in the cooled bacon, most of the spring onion or chives and half of the cheddar. Season to taste.
• Divide the potato mixture evenly between the cavities of the potato skins. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over each filled potato half. Return the potatoes to the oven for 20 mins until golden and bubbling.
