NO-FRY SPICY POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake the potatoes for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes from the oven, but keep the oven on. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise, and let them cool for 10 mins. Scoop out most of the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh against the potato skin (you can save the potato flesh for another use, like mashed potatoes)
• Cut each potato half crosswise into 3 pieces. Place the olive oil in a small cup. Dip each potato piece into the olive oil and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat this with the remaining potato pieces
• Combine the salt and the spices and sprinkle the mixture over the potatoes. Bake the potato skins for 15 minutes or until they are crispy and brown. Serve them immediately.

MINI STUFFED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut potatoes in half crosswise. Mix with oil in bowl. Place cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake potatoes until just tender, about 25 minutes, and cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, 4 tablespoons scallion or chives, and bacon. Add pepper to taste. Cut a thin slice off rounded end of each potato so that it will sit upright. Turn the potatoes over and, using melon baller or small spoon, scoop out some of the center of each potato (reserve for later use in potato pancakes or gnocchi). Fill with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream mixture, and garnish with the remaining scallion or chives. Serve immediately or cover and chill until needed.
