Breakfast Potato Skins image

These were my favorite things on the menu of a coffee shop near me that closed long ago. I've yearned for them over the years but have never seen them anywhere else. I finally decided to make them myself, and they came out YUMMY!!!!

Time 35m

Yield 8 Skins, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 large russet potatoes
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 -2 tablespoon butter (do not substitute margarine)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or regular table salt)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 -8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 -8 green onions, sliced
2 cups sour cream

Steps:

  • Bake potatoes in the microwave for 10 minutes; turn over and bake another 5-8 minutes until baked through (test with a toothpick). Set aside to cool.
  • Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.
  • Beat eggs in a bowl; add water; beat a little more. Add eggs to skillet and scramble until done. Set aside.
  • Once potatoes have cooled enough to be handled, cut them lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/4 inch layer of pulp in the skins; discard pulp (or save/use for something else).
  • Place skins upside down (skin side up) on a greased baking sheet.
  • Combine oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl; brush all over each skin.
  • Bake at 475 degrees for about 8 minutes; remove baked skins from oven.
  • Turn the skins over and fill each one with scrambled eggs and sprinkle cheese on top.
  • Return to oven long enough to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from oven and add salsa, sour cream, bacon and green onions, or whatever other toppings you like. (Add the salsa first and then the sour cream so that other toppings will 'stick" to the sour cream.).

These potato skins were the perfect breakfast! They were crispy and cheesy, and the eggs were cooked perfectly.

These potato skins were a bit too dry for my taste. I would add more butter or sour cream next time.

These potato skins were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I've tried many potato skin recipes, and this one is by far the best. The skins are always crispy and the filling is always flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe.

I found that the potato skins were a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper next time.

These potato skins were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

I love that these potato skins can be made ahead of time. I often make them the night before and then just pop them in the oven in the morning. It's such a time-saver!

These potato skins were a hit at our breakfast table! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of cheese and bacon. I added some chopped green onions for extra flavor, and they were perfect.
