Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks to highest and middle positions. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pierce each potato 8 times with a fork. Place directly on middle oven rack, and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and use a small spoon to scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4-inch shell all around. Reserve insides for salmon cakes with sorrel sauce. Slice each potato shell in half again lengthwise to make 16 wedges, and place them on a baking sheet.
  • Combine oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and brush on all sides of potato wedges. Bake on highest rack until crisp and edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.

Tips:

  • Use baking potatoes for the best results. They have a higher starch content, which makes them crispier when baked.
  • Scrub the potatoes well before baking to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F) for a crispy skin and fluffy interior.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the potatoes before baking. This will help the potatoes crisp up and make them easier to stuff.
  • Don't overstuff the potato skins. Too much filling will make them soggy.
  • Serve the potato skins immediately after baking. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy potato skins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a meal on their own. With so many different ways to fill and top them, the possibilities are endless. So next time you have some leftover baked potatoes, don't throw them away! Make crispy potato skins instead.
