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!

In flight? You know it! I’m adjusting my schedu In flight? You know it!

I’m adjusting my schedule a little bit. Right now, I just can’t get up as early as I would like, but that’s ok. Things can be shuffled and rearranged.

Additionally, I rescued a big dog this morning with another neighbor. I heard galloping behind me as I was heading home and was almost tackled by a huge doodle-type. Between us, we were able to call the microchip service and get his address and she went to notify the owner. He wasn’t a good walker and he even knocked me down (very slowly and dramatically) while I held him and waited. He is home safe and sound and I’m wondering how many people carry leashes with them on the run just in case this happens. This is my second rescue in a few weeks. It’s becoming a thing.

Any plans this weekend? Any dog rescues while running?

Today’s cultivation brought to you by some windy miles. I started a little later than i wanted, but tomorrow’s another day.

Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk Yesterday was a long and emotional day. I did walk but I didn’t post. I’m still just mentally drained, but I got up today and tried to make a strong start of it.

It was a challenge but I got it done.

Anyone else just forging ahead as needed? We’ve got this!

Here’s to the first medal of the year! And here’s to so many more!

Did you race this weekend?

Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside! Peep that frost! Baby, it’s cold 🥶 outside!

Peep that frost!

Solid five miles this morning. I just started the strength training plan I won from @kimrunsthemitten so I was a little sore but I think the frosty air was good for my muscles. 

It’s promising to be a pretty day so fingers crossed for more outdoors time!

How are you honoring this day?

It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! It’s a beautiful weekend for the #staugfilmfest! We saw @tiger24film, presented by @staugalligatorfarm at the Lewis Auditorium, and it was truly an incredible and thought provoking documentary on the tenuous balance between wild animals in their natural habitat, humans, and the consequences that occur when the two come together. 

There is still plenty of time to check out screenings at three locations this afternoon and evening! Visit https://www.staugfilmfest.com for ticket details!
