Stuffed potato skins are all the rage now, and here’s why. Put quite simply, they’re essentially like a tastier (and healthier) version of toast. It’s always nice to have a food that can hold other foods—and that’s what potato skins offer.
In addition, potatoes have a very understated and complementary taste, and therefore mix well with almost everything. Here are some stuffed potato skin options that are sweeping the nation.
Cheese and Bacon
Looking for a dairy-meat combo? Start by frying up some smoked bacon rashers until they’re really crispy. Cut them into small pieces, mix with loads of cheddar cheese, and fill the potato skins with it. Pop the skins under the grill for about three minutes to melt the cheese, and they’re ready!
Feta and Spinach
Here’s a nice option if you’re looking for a Greek angle. Start off with a spinach and feta mix, adding olives, olive oil, and perhaps avocado slices. This is a refreshing treat and a great complement to a spicy main course.
Pepper and Chives Mashed Potato
Here’s a spicy option that’ll go great with a crispy potato. After you’ve taken out the fluffy interior, fill it up with some spanish rice, before seasoning it with chives, thyme, salt and pepper. Melt some cheese on the whole thing and enjoy!
