Loaded potato skins

23 Jul Loaded potato skins

A good appetizer for a BBQ, game night or some friends night out. We like them. We usually do them when we put chicken wings to the BBQ. 

Ingredients:

3 potatoes

2 stricky bacon

150 grams or more of cheese

50 ml of sour cream

chives

melted butter

salt and pepper

Prep:

1. Preheat the oven at 200ºC. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. 
2. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour. 
3. Cut the potatoes lengthwise in two sections if the potato is average, it is a big cut in three sections and discards the middle part. (I use this and also what I scoop for mashed potato). Scoop 70% of the potato. 
4. Brush the scooped part with the melted butter. Salt and pepper them. Broil the potatoes skins until they are golden, so you can have the crispy taste. 
5. Meanwhile, we are going to cook the bacon putting it in a dish between to towel paper and microwave for 3 minutes or until crispy. Cut it in tiny pieces. 
6. As soon as the potatoes are done loaded them with the cheese and bacon. The cheese will melt wit the remaining heat on the potatoes. Add a teaspoon of cream cheese to each skin and sprinkle with some chives. Enjoy them with your prefered drink.
