baked potato skins

March 1, 2011      1 Comment

Here’s an unexpected treat: How to use simple baked potatoes to get two fantastic potato treats: mashed potatoes and healthy potato skins!

First, scrub and dry your potatoes. I bake them at 425, unwrapped, for 90 minutes. It makes the skin crispier.

Give them a little while to cool, and then split and scoop out the middles into a bowl.

Add to the bowl about 1/4 stick butter, cut up, a little pepper, a little salt, and a splash of nonfat milk.

And then get to smashing.

When your potatoes are the desired texture (we like ours super thick and lumpy – more smashed than mashed), stick them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes, before serving.

Pop the skins into a tupperware and store til you are ready to use for potato skins.

Split them apart and pop them in the broiler on a foil lined pan for 8 minutes. Exactly. This will crisp them up.

Then, it’s time to add toppings! Shredded cheeses and bacon!!! Yum!

And then back in the broiler. Another 8 minutes. No more. No less.

Sprinkle with some chives and you have relatively healthy potato skins.

I actually like these better than what you would get at your local bar. They have a really yummy potato flavor and there is not a trace of greasiness. Enjoy!

    I always dispose of the potato skin. However, you proved me wrong and I will try your recipe, Jenn!

Oh, how I love the sunrise. Fortunately, it wasn’t too long of a night, so this morning’s run was hard because of humidity and nothing more. 

Followed it up with some standing core moves (weighted marches, woodchoppers, and around the worlds), and now it’s time for a
fresh set of nails 💅🏻.

Are you back in the swing of things this Tuesday?

Are you in for sun or dancing between raindrops?

I’m still on the fence about a race on Monday. Should I or shouldn’t I? It’s just a 5k, but still.
