Description

Crispy Chili Loaded Potato Skins are a delightful combination of crunchy texture and savory flavors. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch from the perfectly baked potato skins, complemented by the rich, spicy chili and melted cheese that create a mouthwatering experience.

Ingredients

  • Potatoes: 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons, for brushing
  • Chili: 1 cup cooked chili (beef or vegetarian)
  • Cheese: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sour Cream: ½ cup, for topping
  • Green Onions: ¼ cup, chopped, for garnish
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon, for seasoning
  • Pepper: ½ teaspoon, for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prick the potatoes with a fork and bake them for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  3. Once baked, let the potatoes cool slightly, then cut them in half lengthwise.
  4. Scoop out the insides, leaving about ¼ inch of potato on the skin.
  5. Brush the potato skins with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bake the skins in the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and fill each skin with a generous amount of chili.
  8. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and return to the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and chopped green onions.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: You can prepare the potato skins a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Use any type of cheese you prefer, or substitute chili with pulled pork or shredded chicken for variety.
