Cheesy Potato Skins

Prep Time: 25 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

 

6 medium baking potatoes (2 pounds)

1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted

2/3 cup finely chopped red or green sweet pepper

1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil

1 cup shredded process Gruyere cheese or shredded

cheddar cheese (4 ounces)

4 slices bacon, crisp-cooked, drained, and crumbled

2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

 

Directions:

 

1. For potato skins, prick baking potatoes with a

fork. Bake in a 425 degree F oven for 40 to 50 minutes

or until tender. Cut into quarters. Scoop out the

insides (reserve for another use), leaving

1/4-inch-thick shells. Brush both sides of potato

skins with melted margarine or butter. Place cut side

up on a large baking sheet. Bake in a 425 degree F

oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp.

2. Meanwhile, for topping, in a medium saucepan cook

the red or green sweet pepper, onion, pecans, and

garlic in hot oil until onion is tender but not brown.

Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly. Stir in

the cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives. Spoon onto

potato skins. Return to oven and bake about 2 minutes

more or until cheese melts. Makes 24.

Make-Ahead Tip: Bake potatoes; cool. Wrap and chill

for up to 12 hours. Continue as directed.
