Loaded Sweet Potato Skins Recipes

LOADED SWEET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pierce each sweet potato a few times and bake for 40-50 minutes or until soft. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (191°C). Scoop out sweet potato flesh, leaving a thin layer of sweet potato inside, and add flesh to a medium bowl. Place skins back on the baking sheet face up, drizzle with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes.
• Mash the sweet potato flesh with milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. After 10 minutes, remove the skins from the oven. Fill each with an equal amount of mashed sweet potato and top each with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and top with bacon. Serve with sour cream and chopped chives, if desired.
• Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

LOADED SWEET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the potatoes on a baking sheet until they can be easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on for the final bake.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a metal spoon, scoop out 3/4 of the potato flesh into a medium bowl, leaving the skins protected by a layer of potato. Put the potato shells skin-side down on the baking sheet.
• Mash the potato filling in the bowl then stir in the butter, smoked gouda and smoked paprika. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide the filling equally among the potato skins and return to the oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove the potatoes and top with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of scallions, freshly cracked black pepper and chopped parsley.

LOADED POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the baking potatoes on a baking tray. Prick all over with a fork and rub with a little oil. Cook potatoes in oven for 1 hr until golden and cooked all the way through. Remove from oven. Allow potatoes to cool for 15 mins.
• While potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tsp oil in a medium frying pan and fry the bacon for 5-8 mins until crisp. Leave to cool, then transfer to a board and finely chop.
• Cut the slightly cooled potatoes in half and scoop the flesh from the skin into a large bowl, leaving a little around the edges. Put the skins back on the baking tray, scooped side up.
• Mash the potato flesh and soured cream together using a fork or masher. Stir in the cooled bacon, most of the spring onion or chives and half of the cheddar. Season to taste.
• Divide the potato mixture evenly between the cavities of the potato skins. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over each filled potato half. Return the potatoes to the oven for 20 mins until golden and bubbling.
• Sprinkle over the remaining spring onion or chives and serve hot.
