Quick and easy potato skins

Potato -skins

Serves 4-6

This is a Tex Mex classic...straight from the USA! Deep fried baked potato skins, crispy streaky bacon, cheese, sour cream… and you need to make sure you make a whole load of these because everyone, even those on a diet, will come back for more, seriously!

The leftover flesh of the potato is awesome to use in any type of pattie or simply place in oven (on a high heat) with a drizzle of olive oil and salt, and serve with steak and salad… crisps up beautifully. You can always pencil in the run for the next day!

Ingredients

  • 6 Agria potatoes, scrubbed and washed thoroughly
  • 10 rashes of streaky bacon, diced
  • 150g Colby or tasty cheese, grated
  • 150g sour cream
  • Olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C and place the potatoes in the oven for 1 - 1 ½ hours or until a knife easily slides through the potato.
  2. Remove and cool.
  3. When cool, slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a teaspoon. Make sure that you leave some potato flesh on the skin.
  4. Fry the bacon until coloured, remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Heat 3- 4 Tbsp of olive oil in frying pan and when hot place the potato skins, skin side up in the pan.
