Day 31 – Potato Skins

They are delicious, kids love them, they are a great finger food and easy to throw in the freezer and heat up. You can make these days in advance, weeks for that matter, just heat and serve. The ingredients listed below are basic which allows you to add your favorite topping…chili, jalapenos, etc.

Day 31 – Potato Skins

4 large Russet Potatoes

4 Tbsp. melted butter

2 c. grated cheddar cheese

½ c. green onions

¼ c. crisp bacon, diced

Salt and pepper to taste

Pierce 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 grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

Grilled Potatoes

I know it sounds crazy but they are sooooo good! We used red potatoes, but any kind will work. If you are serving these with another grilled, make sure to get them on the grill about 10 minutes before your other items are done.

Potatoes

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt and pepper

Quarter potatoes. Par boil potatoes for about 10-15 minutes. Place in medium sized dish and coat with olive oil. Heat grill. Place quartered potatoes on the grill for 10-20 minutes, turn as necessary. The grill time varies depending on how hot the grill is and the location of the potatoes on the grill, so just keep an eye on them. Enjoy!
