Yummy Potato Skins
I developed this recipe in response to the bargain $.99 bag of potatoes, hunger and an unwillingness to derail my healthful eating plan.
I have made this recipe a couple of times (after posting the recipe, I just had to have more) and while I keep the goat cheese consistent, I have changed the types of cheddar as well as using Sambal Oelek in place of the Hatch Green Chili. It still tasted wonderful and I always have a few slices left since it's completely satisfying.
Ingredients:
Potato Skins
1 Large Potato (~ 6 " potato and < 1/2 lb in weight), scrubbed and sliced ~ 1/4 of an inch thick
1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese
1-2 Hot Green Chilis, Diced
2 tbs Goat Cheese (not Feta Style, choose soft it helps hold everything together)
1/2 cup Bell Pepper, Diced
1/2 cup Onion, Diced
Diping Sauce
1/2 cup Plain Yogurt
1-2 Teaspoons Packaged Taco Seasoning
Instructions:
1) Preheat oven to 400° F. While oven preheats, prepare ingredients.
2) Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and place a single layer of potato slices on the baking sheet. Spray the potato slices with non-stick cooking spray. Spinkle with pepper and salt if desired. Place potatoes in preheated oven for 20 minutes and then flip the potatoes to continue cooking for 10 more minutes. While potatoes are cooking, mix the remaining ingredients. The goat cheese will help the remaining ingredients hold together.
3) The potatoes have now cooked for 30 minutes, top the potato slices with the cheese mixture. Most slices will take about 1-2 tablespoons of the topping. Return to oven and continue cooking for 10 minutes. I serve them with 1/2 cup of plain yogurt flavored with 1-2 Tablespoons of packaged taco seasoning for a great way to get in some more dairy. Tabasco sauce welcomed.
4) Enjoy
