Twice Baked Potato Skins
These creamy potatoes are the perfect appetizer, side to your chicken or steak, or even great for meat-free day meals! Feel free to sub out the garlic powder for fresh minced garlic for even bolder flavors!
Ingredients
- 5 small to medium-sized potatoes, halved
- 2.5 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sour cream / blended cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Havarti cheese
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder
- 1/3 cup half and half (or milk of choice)
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella, to top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Microwave the potatoes for 6-7 minutes, and flip microwaving for another 4 minutes (or till the potatoes are cooked through). (You can bake them to cook through, but I microwaved for efficiency)
- When the potatoes are cooked through, halve, lengthwise & scoop out the insides, and set aside in a large bowl.
- Set the skins in a baking dish and spray lightly with avocado oil. Bake for 5-7 minutes.
- While your skins bake, add your butter, chives, sour cream, Havarti, Parmesan, and seasonings. Feel free to add fresh minced garlic too instead of the garlic powder.
- Mix to combine and add a splash of half and half to allow the mixture to come together.
- Once the potato skins are crispy, go ahead and remove from the oven and fill with your mixture.
- Top with shredded mozzarella before placing back into the oven.
- Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. or until the cheese gets melted to your preference. Remove from the oven and top with optional chopped chives!
- Enjoy!! xx
