SWEET POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.) Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. (Save the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the rack, and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.
• Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan and scallions. Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the potato skins from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Top each with some salsa verde and avocado. Sprinkle with crushed chips.

CHILI CHEESE DOG POTATO SKINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Rub the outside of each of the clean and dried potatoes with 1 ½ tbsp. of the canola oil. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Allow the potatoes to cool until they can be handled.
• While the potatoes are cooling, cook the beef franks according to the package directions & then slice into rounds. Heat the chili according to the package directions. Set aside.
• Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and scoop out the inside of each potato half leaving a sturdy shell for the toppings. Brush the insides and outsides of the potato skins with the remaining 1 ½ tbsp. of canola oil. Place the skins face-down and bake for an additional 5-6 minutes to get the skins nice & crispy.
• Remove from the oven and then fill each potato skin with 3-4 slices of the beef franks, 1 ½ tbsp. of the heated hot dog chili, and about 1 ½ tbsp. of the shredded cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake an additional 3-4 minutes, or just until the cheese is melted & gooey.
• Serve immediately with your favorite chili cheese dog condiments on the side (onions, mustard, & coleslaw) & allow guests to top their own potato skins with the additional condiments, if desired.
• Enjoy!

LOADED POTATO SKINS

• 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.
