• 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:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the sweet potato slices in 3 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the slices in a single layer on 2 baking sheets and roast until brown and beginning to crisp, 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• 3. Put the avocado, onion, lime juice, serrano, and cilantro in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and then pulse a few more times.
• 4. Top the sweet potato slices with the chorizo and shredded cheese; return to the oven to melt the cheese. Serve topped with the avocado salsa and a cilantro leaf garnish.

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:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times and microwave for 10 mins or bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 40 mins.
• Heat (or increase) oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve each potato and scoop out roughly half the flesh to save for another meal (you can mash and freeze it). Cut the potato skins in half lengthways, then season and rub with the oil. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment, arrange the potato skins in a single layer and bake for 15 mins until starting to crisp.
• Scatter over the beans, salsa and cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 mins until the cheese is bubbling. Chop the avocado and toss in the lime juice. Top the potato skins with the avocado mix, coriander and red onion.

Steps:

• Prick potatoes with fork; place on microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 10 to 12 min. or until potatoes are tender. Cool 10 min.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Cut potatoes lengthwise in half; scoop out centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Refrigerate removed potato centers for another use. (See tip.)
• Place potato shells, cut sides up, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spread salsa onto insides of shells; sprinkle evenly with 3 Tbsp. cilantro. Top with cheese.
• Bake 12 to 14 min. or until cheese is melted.
• Top with sour cream, avocados and tomatoes; sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
