Chili Cheese Potato Skins Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Scrub potatoes and dry well. Pierce several times with tip of knife; arrange on large baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes or until tender. Cool.
• Slice each potato in half; scoop out flesh (reserve for mashing or potato pancakes), leaving 1/4-inch shell. Brush inside and outside of each potato half with oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange potato halves on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes, until crisp and golden brown, turning once.
• Spoon chili into potato shells; top with cheese. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream and green onions.

Steps:

• Toppings: Chunky chili, grated longhorn cheddar, chopped onion, sour cream and hot sauce
• 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.)

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!

Steps:

• Poke each sweet potato a few times and microwave until fork-tender, about 10 minutes, rotating halfway through. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, put the carrots, garlic, tomato and onion in a food processor; add the vinegar, cumin, oregano, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller chunks, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Split the potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh and add it to the beef mixture; stir to combine. Divide the potato halves among 4 plates and generously fill each half with the beef-potato mixture. Top each with sour cream, Cheddar and scallions.

Steps:

• In a microwave, cook potatoes on high heat until soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn and rearrange potatoes for even cooking every few minutes.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet or deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut potatoes in half lengthwise, and scoop out center of potatoes, leaving about 1/4 inch on the skins. Place scooped out potato in a medium bowl, and mash together with margarine and salt. Set aside.
• Fry skins in the hot oil, turning occasionally until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place ground beef in a large skillet, and cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown; drain. Mix in chili seasoning and processed cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted.
• Stuff potato skins with the ground beef mixture, and top with mashed potato mixture. Sprinkle the tops with chili powder. Arrange stuffed skins in a single layer on a large baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven 15 minutes, or until mashed potatoes are lightly browned.
