With the Super Bowl being tomorrow and all I figured I'd post a good game time snack. I got this out of Food Network's Magazine in the January/February issue. They made potato skins and topped them 32 ways; one in honor of each football team in the NFL. Below is the recipe for the potato skins. You can top them however you want with whatever you have on hand. The picture is just 2 of the ways I topped mine the last time I made them. (On the left they are topped with my chicken nachos and on the right they are topped with guacamole and tostidos ranch queso.) I have also listed the toppings that the Food Network Magazine gave for the Colts and the Saints. If you want to have a really fun Super Bowl party you can use those toppings. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
Potato Skins
4 large russet potatoes4 tbsp melted butter (you might need a bit more or less depending on the size of your spuds)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scrub the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Bake them directly on the oven rack until tender. About 1 hour. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4 inch shell. Brush both sides of the skins with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin side up, at 450 degrees until crisp, about 15 minutes. Then add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
If you want to make cheesy skins, flip the baked shells over after the 15 minutes and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and bake and extra 5 minutes.
Go Saints:
Muffuletta - assorted sliced Italian deli meats, provolone cheese, olive salad, and sliced pepperoncinis
Go Colts:
Fried Pork - mayonnaise mixed with mustard and hot sauce, sliced fried pork cutlets, chopped tomato, and diced red onion.
