Super Bowl Super Stuffd N Crispy Potato Skins Recipes

CRISPY POTATO SKIN SCOOPS

Steps:

• Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate in an even layer, then microwave on high until knife-tender, flipping each halfway through, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut each potato in half crosswise. Use a 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the potato, leaving a thin border around the edge. Transfer the scooped-out potato to a medium bowl, then cover and reserve.
• Meanwhile, fill a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven with 2 inches of canola oil and attach a deep-fry thermometer to the pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium-high heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a couple paper towels; set aside.
• Whisk the potato starch and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip the potato shells into the potato-starch slurry, letting any excess drip back into the bowl, then carefully lower into the hot oil. Cook, in batches, until well browned and crispy, about 4 minutes per batch. Remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and then flip over cut-side down to drain.
• Add the butter to the reserved scoop-out potato and reheat in the microwave until warm, stirring halfway through, about 3 minutes. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the potato until almost smooth, then stir in the sour cream, Cheddar, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper until combined.
• Using the 1/4 teaspoon measuring spoon, spoon the filling into the crispy potato skin scoops. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne.

SUPER-STUFFED BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain and reserve 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Chop the bacon.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the potatoes with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake 30 minutes. Pierce each potato in a few spots with a fork and continue baking until tender, 15 to 20 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, fit a medium pot with a steamer insert, fill with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the cauliflower, cover and steam until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a food processor. Add the buttermilk, garlic, vinegar, paprika, the reserved bacon drippings, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste; pulse until smooth. Set aside 1/4 cup of the cauliflower puree for topping.
• Slice a thin layer off the top of each potato, then scoop the flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick wall. Mix the potato flesh with the remaining cauliflower puree, three-quarters each of the cheese and scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Stuff the potato skins with the potato-cauliflower mixture and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Top with the reserved cauliflower puree, the remaining scallions, the bacon and more paprika.

STUFFED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Scrub and pierce potatoes. Bake at 400° for 40-50 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly; cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a thin shell (save pulp for another use). Place potato shells on an ungreased baking sheet., Combine butter and 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce; brush over shells. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 5 minutes or until edges are crispy and butter is bubbly. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the onions, red pepper, broccoli, 3/4 cup cheese and remaining hot pepper sauce; spoon into potato skins. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.

SUPER BOWL SUPER STUFF'D N' CRISPY POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Bake the potatoes until tender (I bought the micorwavable kind, you may bake them though). Let potatoes cool. In a medium size bowl mix the Sour Cream, Baccon, Shredded Cheese, Salt, Pepper. Refridgerate for 10-15 minute Take the potatoes half them, and then fourth them. Scoop almost all the potato flesh out with a spoon, I like to leave a little so it's more like a french fry, but it dosnt really matter.
• While the filling is in the fridge, heat your oil (I have a fryer) to about 350 degrees. Once the oil is hot drop the skins into fryer or pan. Cook the skins until crispy (5-8 mins). Once done place them on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb grease.
• Take out the filling and preheat the oven to "Broiler" Get a baking sheet and fill the skins with the filling, don't put too much or all the filling will come out. Broil the potato skins until the filling is hot and goey. If you want, garnish with green onion.
