Greek Style Potato Skins Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven 400f, prick the potatoes and bake 1 hour or until done.
• Cool potatoes slightly, cut in half, lengthwise and scoop out the pulp leaving a 1/4" shell (reserve pulp for another use) Cut skins in half lengthwise again and then cut in half crosswise (you'll have 32 pieces) Brush skins generously with with oil.
• Bake 5 minutes.
• Combine the remaining ingredients and top the skins with the cheese mixture.
• Drizzle with a little oil and broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch on the skin. Brush canola oil all over the potato skins, outside and inside, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve flesh for another use.
• Bake skins in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Turn on the oven's broiler.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Arrange the potato skins flesh-side up on a roasting pan or rack. Sprinkle the insides with pepper, Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin and sprinkle with green onions.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix olive oil, water, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, bouillon cubes and pepper.
• Arrange potatoes evenly in the bottom of a medium baking dish. Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes. Cover, and bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the preheated oven, turning occasionally, until tender but firm.

Steps:

• Pierce potatoes all over with a fork and place on a sheet pan. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 45-60 min, turning once, until fully tender.
• Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the center of the flesh, leaving a 1/4" wall. (The removed flesh makes excellent mashed potatoes.).
• Drizzle potato skins on both sides with olive oil, rubbing all over gently. Place back on sheet pan, skin side down, and return to oven for 7 minutes. Flip to skin side up and bake 5-10 minutes more, until nice and crispy and browned on the inner rim.
• Sprinkle a nice pinch of kosher or finishing salt on the inside of each skin. Spread each with a tablespoon of yogurt, then sprinkle with a tablespoon of Feta. Place on a heatproof serving dish. Place under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until cheese begins to melt.
• Sprinkle oregano, lemon zest, red onion, black pepper and more salt over skins, then serve hot. (Sprinkling from high up gives even distribution and a rustic look to the serving plate.).

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the baking potatoes on a baking tray. Prick all over with a fork and rub with a little oil. Cook potatoes in oven for 1 hr until golden and cooked all the way through. Remove from oven. Allow potatoes to cool for 15 mins.
• While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tsp oil in a medium frying pan and fry the bacon for 5-8 mins until crisp. Leave to cool, then transfer to a board and finely chop.
• Cut the slightly cooled potatoes in half and scoop the flesh from the skin into a large bowl, leaving a little around the edges. Put the skins back on the baking tray, scooped side up.
• Mash the potato flesh and soured cream together using a fork or masher. Stir in the cooled bacon, most of the spring onion or chives and half of the cheddar. Season to taste.
• Divide the potato mixture evenly between the cavities of the potato skins. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over each filled potato half. Return the potatoes to the oven for 20 mins until golden and bubbling.
• Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion or chives and serve hot.
