Potato Dog Skins Recipes

POTATO DOGS

Steps:

• To make the sauce, mix the mayo, mustard, chili paste, relish, and ketchup in a small bowl. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a fork, poke a few holes into each Idaho® Russet Potato. Rub each potato with olive oil and salt and place on a baking sheet. Bake the potatoes for about 1 hour, until tender.
• Peel the potatoes and run them through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Add the scallions, Parmesan, egg, and breadcrumbs. Stir well to combine. Add the sour cream, starting with about half, and stir to combine. Add more as needed until the mixture is smooth, but not too wet. It should be stiffer than mashed potatoes.
• One by one, stick a popsicle stick into a hot dog starting at the cut end and putting it about 3/4 of the way through the dog. Take about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture in your hand and press it flat into your palm. Wrap it around the hot dog, adding more as needed. Press to tightly seal. Repeat until you run out of the potato mixture or the hot dogs.
• Heat about 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a heavy bottom pot to 375 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the potato dogs, flipping a few times to evenly brown on all sides. Remove from oil to a drying rack or paper towel and season with a pinch of salt.
• Serve the potato dogs with the sauce on the side, or drizzled on top if desired.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Cut potatoes lengthwise in half; scoop out centers, leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells. Discard removed centers or reserve for another use.

• Grill potatoes and franks 7 to 9 min. or until potatoes are crisp and franks are heated through, turning potatoes after 4 min. and turning franks occasionally.
• Slice franks; spoon into potato shells. Drizzle with barbecue sauce; top with cheese.
• Grill 1 to 2 min. or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and chives.

CONEY DOG POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Toppings: Sliced hot dogs, chili, diced onions, shredded cheddar and yellow mustard
• 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.)

RESTAURANT-STYLE POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Pierce potatoes with a fork. Microwave the potatoes on high until they are soft; approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
• Cut the potatoes in half vertically. Scoop the inside out of the potatoes, until 1/4 inch of the potato shell remains.
• Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan. Place the potatoes in hot oil, fry for 5 minutes. Drain potatoes on paper towels.
• Fill the potato shells with cheese and bacon bits and sprinkle with green onions. Arrange them in the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream.

CHILI CHEESE DOG POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Rub the outside of each of the clean and dried potatoes with 1 ½ tbsp. of the canola oil. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Allow the potatoes to cool until they can be handled.
• While the potatoes are cooling, cook the beef franks according to the package directions & then slice into rounds. Heat the chili according to the package directions. Set aside.
• Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and scoop out the inside of each potato half leaving a sturdy shell for the toppings. Brush the insides and outsides of the potato skins with the remaining 1 ½ tbsp. of canola oil. Place the skins face-down and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes to get the skins nice & crispy.
• Remove from the oven and then fill each potato skin with 3-4 slices of the beef franks, 1 ½ tbsp. of the heated hot dog chili, and about 1 ½ tbsp. of the shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 3-4 minutes, or just until the cheese is melted & gooey.
• Serve immediately with your favorite chili cheese dog condiments on the side (onions, mustard, & coleslaw) & allow guests to top their own potato skins with the additional condiments, if desired.
• Enjoy!
