Elegantsweetpotatoskins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pierce the potatoes a few times with a fork, then place directly on the center rack in the oven. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, 1 teaspoon salt and 3 or 4 turns pepper; saute until the leeks are wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and thyme and saute until lightly browned, another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Halve the baked potatoes lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Set aside to cool. Reserve the potato innards for another use.
• Fill a deep, heavy pot with 3 inches of canola oil; heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Working in batches, fry the potato skins in the oil until crispy and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Arrange the fried potato skins, scooped-side up, on a baking sheet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 3 or 4 turns pepper. Fill the skins with the mushroom-leek filling and top with the Brie and prosciutto. Transfer to the oven and bake until the brie is melted and the prosciutto crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Garnish with the chives and serve.

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. Arrange them in the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Roast potatoes in the oven for 30-45 minutes until they are fully cooked, but not very soft; cool.
• Halve potatoes and scoop out as much flesh as you can without tearing outer skin. Reserve the inside flesh for another use.
• Brush cavities of the potato skins with butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat oven to Broil.
• Broil the seasoned skins for 5-10 minutes, until they crisp up, being careful not to burn.
• Top hot skins with 1 ounce of brie (without rind) and some of the chopped nuts.
• Return to broiler for a few minutes to allow cheese to soften and get hot.
• Garnish with fresh chives if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.) Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. (Save the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the rack, and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.
• Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan and scallions. Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the potato skins from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Top each with some salsa verde and avocado. Sprinkle with crushed chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Wash and dry potatoes. Bake in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender and not mushy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Cut the potatoes in half. Scoop out the flesh of the potatoes and reserve for another use. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and drizzle with melted butter.
• Place the skins on a baking sheet and return to the oven to bake for about 10 minutes, or until crisp.
• Top each skin with 1 ounce of brie and 1/4 cup walnuts. Place the skins on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly; about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the potato skins liberally with vegetable oil. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until fork-tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• As the potatoes near the end of their cooking time, cook the meat. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the beef and garlic and season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Mix in the ketchup, seasoning salt, mustard and Worcestershire and set aside.
• Slice the baked potatoes in half lengthwise, then scrape out the inner flesh with a cookie scoop or spoon, leaving a small margin of potato in the skins (reserve the scooped-out flesh for another use). Brush both sides of the potato skins with vegetable oil. Add kosher salt and pepper liberally to both sides of the skins, then place them cut-side down on the baking sheet and return to the oven. Bake until crispy, another 10 minutes.
• Fill the potato skins with the meat mixture and top with the grated Cheddar. Top each with the shredded lettuce and pickles, sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve.

Steps:

• Saute onions in butter until golden.
• In a deep, oiled casserole dish, layer 1/2 potatoes (sprinkle with salt and pepper), 1/2 onions and 1/2 jack and cheddar cheeses. Repeat layers.

• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and golden.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the potatoes on a baking sheet until they can be easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on for the final bake.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a metal spoon, scoop out 3/4 of the potato flesh into a medium bowl, leaving the skins protected by a layer of potato. Put the potato shells skin-side down on the baking sheet.
• Mash the potato filling in the bowl then stir in the butter, smoked gouda and smoked paprika. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide the filling equally among the potato skins and return to the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes and top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of scallions, freshly cracked black pepper and chopped parsley.

• Place skins back on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and bake at 400˚F (200˚C) for 10 minutes.
• Mash sweet potato flesh with milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

• Remove skins from oven and top with crumbled bacon. Serve with sour cream and chives.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet & bake for about 35-45 minutes or until they are tender but not mushy, then remove them from the oven & set them on a wire rack to cool, while increasing the oven temperature to broil.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt & ground pepper.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve them lengthwise & scoop the flesh out of the skins, leaving a shell from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick. Cut each sweet potato shell lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
• Add the skins to the herbed Parmesan mixture & gently toss to combine.
• Place the sweet potato wedges on a baking sheet & broil from 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted & bubbly.
