Categories     Potato

Time 1h32m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 idaho potatoes
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
1 cup buttermilk
1 garlic clove, grated
2 -3 dashes hot sauce
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • oven to 425ºF.
  • Scrub the potatoes of any excess dirt and prick them each several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tossing lightly to coat.
  • Bake in the oven until tender, about 45-60 minutes depending on the size of the potato. Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let cool enough to handle.
  • When the potatoes have about 10 minutes left in the oven, place the tomatoes onto a baking sheet and drizzle them lightly with olive oil. Season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper and roast them in the oven until they've blistered, about 15 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, combine the buttermilk, garlic, hot sauce and herbs in a small mixing bowl. Season the ranch with salt and freshly ground black pepper and reserve in the refrigerator until the potatoes are ready.
  • Once the potatoes are cool, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop the insides out into a mixing bowl, leaving a thin layer of flesh still intact on each half. Be sure not to pierce the skin of the potato while doing so. Add the ranch to the potato and mash lightly to mix everything together. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and scoop the filling back into the hollowed out potato shells, dividing it evenly between all eight.
  • Place the potato skins back onto a baking sheet and sprinkle the cheese over each of them.
  • Place them back into the oven to melt the cheese, 1-2 minutes. Top each potato with some of the roasted tomatoes and serve them up with your favorite side salad alongside. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato skins because they have a thick skin that can withstand baking and the filling.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the skin.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked through, but not so soft that they fall apart.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help to prevent them from breaking.
  • Scoop out the potato flesh: Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a thin layer of potato attached to the skin.
  • Brush the potato skins with oil: This will help to crisp them up in the oven.
  • Season the potato skins: Sprinkle the potato skins with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Bake the potato skins until they are crispy: The potato skins should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Fill the potato skins: Fill the potato skins with your favorite fillings, such as cheese, bacon, and sour cream.
  • Serve the potato skins immediately: Potato skins are best served hot and fresh.
