My fascination with Food: Potato Skins

When we have baked potatoes for dinner there are always a few left over that no one eats. The perfect way to recycle these are to make an indulgent lunch of stuffed potato skins. Now this is in no way a low fat meal but once in a while everyone deserves a treat and they are so quick and easy to make! You can also feel a little bit good about them because making them yourself means that they are definitely lower in fat than those that you might buy at a supermarket or get from a pub. This is the kind of dish where you can put any ingredient that you want as a filling, but here is mine.

Ingredients:

4 already baked Jacket Potatoes
2 tbsp Cream Cheese
100g Cheddar Cheese
Mixed Dried Herbs
Chilli Flakes
2 Onions Chopped
Salt and Pepper

How to Make:

Scoop filling out of the potatoes and place in a bowl
Drizzle oil over the potato skins and bake for 15 mins at 180 degrees Celsius
Mash the potato insides with a fork then add the cream cheese, herbs, chilli flakes and salt and pepper to taste mixing together.
Finally mix in 50g of the cheddar cheese.
In a frying pan soften the onions.
Place at the bottom of each potato skin a teaspoon of onion then fill with potato and cheese mixture and top with grated cheese.
Cook for 15-20 mins at 180
