Cheesy Potato Skins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place directly on the center oven rack and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly.
• Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Halve the potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell; reserve half of the flesh in a bowl (save the rest for another use). Brush both sides of the potato skins with 2 tablespoons melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Arrange skin-side up on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash the potato flesh with a fork; mix in the cheddar, muenster, parmesan, 2 tablespoons horseradish and the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Stuff into the potato skins, return to the oven and continue baking until golden, about 8 minutes.
• Mix the sour cream with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons horseradish. Spoon on the potato skins and sprinkle with the scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Scrub the potatoes. With a paring knife, remove skin and about 1/8 inch of the flesh in long 1- to 2-inch-wide strips (Reserve peeled potatoes for another use.)
• Toss potato skins with oil, paprika, salt and cayenne.
• Place in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet; sprinkle with Parmesan.
• Bake until tender and golden, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Serves 4.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out the flesh using a melon baller leaving 1/4 inch in the shell. Reserve flesh for another use.
• Combine oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic power, paprika, and pepper in a bowl. Brush over both sides of the potato skins. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until crisp, about 7 minutes more. Remove from the oven; sprinkle with bacon pieces and Cheddar cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Top with sour cream and green onions.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Pierce potatoes to allow steam to escape. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until tender. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes lengthwise into fourths; carefully scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shells. Save potato pulp for another use.
• Set oven control to broil. Place potato shells, skin sides down, on rack in broiler pan. Brush with butter.
• Broil with tops 4 to 5 inches from heat about 5 minutes or until crisp and brown. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream and onions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ªC).
• Debone, remove skin, and shred rotisserie chicken.
• Brush potatoes with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• With a fork, poke several sets of holes on the front and back of the potato.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until inside is cooked.
• Once potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle, slice down the center lengthwise, and, using a spoon, scoop out the centers to form a bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, scooped out potato, ½ cup (50 g) of cheddar, cream cheese, and spinach. Stir until combined.
• Evenly distribute the filling between the potato skins and sprinkle the tops with the remaining cheddar.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is crisp; drain on paper towels.
• Meanwhile, gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Pierce potatoes to allow steam to escape. Place on microwavable paper towels. Arrange in spoke pattern with narrow ends in center. Microwave 12 to 14 minutes, turning once, until tender. Cover; let stand 5 minutes.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise in halves; carefully scoop out pulp, leaving ¼-inch shells. Save potato pulp for another use.
• In small bowl, mix oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, cheese and pepper. Brush mixture over skins.
• In deep fryer or 3-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil to 365°F. Fry in batches for 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. (Make Ahead tip: Potatoes can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before continuing to step 6.)
• One hour before serving allow potatoes to come to room temperature. Heat oven to 450° F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch (3 quart) glass baking dish. Place potato skins, skin side up, in baking dish. Bake 8 minutes. Turn potato skins over and fill with cheese and bacon.
