Yukon golds are not the best for potato skins they are better for mashing and roasting. You should get regular baking potatoes.


But a simple way to make:


Microwave potatoes whole til done


let cool til easy to handle


slice lengthwise and scoop out pulp leaving about 1/4 in. all around


mash pulp with sour cream to desired consistency( should be stiffer than mashed potatoes)


add cheese, to mixture.


Top with extra cheese, bacon, green onion, chives or parsley


bake @ 350 deg oven til filling is heated through and cheese os melted about 20mins.
Easy potato skins are broiled with a little butter and green onions. Use butter flavored spray and light sour cream to make this appetizer lower in fat.


INGREDIENTS:


1 large baking potato


black pepper


1 tablespoon chopped green onion


butter flavor nonstick spray or melted butter


seasoned salt


2 tablespoons sour cream regular or reduced fat


PREPARATION:


Bake one potato in microwave for 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven after baking; wrap in foil and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Unwrap potato and cut in half lengthwise. Let potato cool until it can be handled.


Gently scrape the insides of the potato out, do not scrape all the way to the skin (leave a little potato around the edges and on the bottom). Reserve scrapings for another meal, if desired. Season skins with seaoned salt and pepper. Sprinkle green onion on each one. Place in small pan sprayed with the cooking spray. Lightly spray the potato skins with the butter flavored spray or drizzle with a little melted butter. Place under broiler until golden brown.


Remove from broiler and spread inside of each potato with 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Serve warm.





Serves 2
For a crispy skin, salt the outside of the potatoe when baking.





After they are done baking, scoop out the insides and use for another dish. Stuff skins with your favorite fillings and bake only until hot.
Easy, you just simply deep fry your skin peels, and make up a cheese sauce to cover them in. Very delcious. I served them at my restaurant.
Don't eat any green skins. But you're gonna die of fat overload anyway, sounds like!
