'Tater Skins....

Original Recipe

Story:  Another delicacy that is lost on this country, LOL.  Took a couple trial runs, but we got it.  No real story except that we love delicious appetizers and had a craving.


Recipe:
Small potatoes
Peanut oil
Bacon
Sour cream
Chives
Cheese


Place desired number of washed and pierced potatoes in a microwave dish, cook until done.  Let them cool for a bit, then slice them in half.  Heat your oil.  Pre-heat your oven to 350.  Scoop out the potato guts with a spoon, like you would ice cream.  Don't try to scoop it out in one go, you'll break the skin.  Drop the skins into your peanut oil - we use our wok because it's so easy.  Fry until golden brown.  Drain upside down on paper towels.  Season with salt -n- pepper.  While you are cooking the skins in batches, fry up that bacon.  Chop it up in your mini food processor and set aside.  Place the skins on a cookie sheet and fill 'em up!  Cheese & bacon only, at this stage.  Bake until crispy.  Top with fresh chives.  


Sides: 
Sour cream or ranch dressing
