Stuffed Potato Skins

Submitted by iewe7726

"Got these from Rachael Ray -- a nice twist on the traditional potato skins, would make a great appetizer!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 20 skins

ingredients

• 20 small new potatoes
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• paprika, for garnish

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F
2. Pierce the potatoes with a fork, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush with the olive oil. Roast, uncovered, until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
3. Halve the potatoes; using a melon baller or a teaspoon, scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl. Return the potato skins to the baking sheet. Coarsely mash the potato flesh in the bowl and stir in the cheese, sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Sprinkle the insides of the skins with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; stuff each with the potato-cheese mixture and sprinkle paprika on top (if using).
4. Bake the stuffed potato skins until golden-brown on top, about 15 to 20 minutes.

These are addicting little babies! An easy, pretty appetizer. I have made these twice this month, and will keep the recipe in my favorites file. I added some minced chives, and used a smoked paprika on the tops. I forgot to oil the skins the first time, and they were fine, so I skipped it intentionally the second. thanks for posting this, iewe!
