Nacho Sweet Potato Skins Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Evenly slice sweet potatoes into rounds.
• In a medium-sized bowl, toss rounds with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
• Lay rounds flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
• On a second parchment-lined baking sheet, season chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Wrap the parchment around the chicken, folding at the edges.
• Bake the sweet potatoes and the chicken in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
• Allow both to cool. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.
• Line the bottom of a medium-sized skillet with the sweet potato rounds. Top with shredded chicken, black beans, jalapeño if desired, and cheese. Broil for 5-10 minutes or until toppings are heated through and cheese is melted.
• Garnish with avocado, pico de gallo, and green onion, if desired. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the sweet potatoes in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until soft and partially browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Spray both sides of the tortillas with cooking spray, then stack them up and cut the stack into 8 triangular pieces. Separate the tortilla pieces and lay them out onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss. Bake the chips until crisp, about 15 minutes, tossing the chips halfway through the baking time. Remove the chips from the oven and toss them with the lime zest.
• Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the adobo sauce and tomato paste and stir until the tomato paste darkens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup of water and simmer the sauce until it thickens and the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Set aside until ready to assemble the nachos.
• Combine the tomatoes, remaining onions, serrano chile, lime juice, remaining 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky salsa.
• To assemble the nachos, mound half of the tortilla chips in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Scatter most of the beans and the sweet potatoes over the chips. Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Mound the rest of the chips over the cheese and finish with the remaining beans, sweet potatoes and cheese. Place in the oven until the cheese melts, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with the avocado, salsa and cilantro.

Steps:

• Toppings: Salsa, pickled jalapenos, chopped scallions and cilantro, and sour cream on cheesy skins
• How to Make Classic Potato Skins:
• Pierce 4 large russet potatoes with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack at 350 degrees until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, then quarter lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Brush both sides with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake, skin-side up, at 450 degrees until crisp, about 15 minutes. Add your favorite team toppings. (For cheesy skins, flip the baked shells over before topping, sprinkle with 1 cup grated cheddar cheese and bake an extra 5 minutes.)

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.) Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. (Save the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the rack, and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.
• Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan and scallions. Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the potato skins from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Top each with some salsa verde and avocado. Sprinkle with crushed chips.

Steps:

• Prick potatoes with fork; place on microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 10 to 12 min. or until potatoes are tender. Cool 10 min.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Cut potatoes lengthwise in half; scoop out centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Refrigerate removed potato centers for another use. (See tip.)
• Place potato shells, cut sides up, on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spread salsa onto insides of shells; sprinkle evenly with 3 Tbsp. cilantro. Top with cheese.
• Bake 12 to 14 min. or until cheese is melted.
• Top with sour cream, avocados and tomatoes; sprinkle with remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Scrub potatoes, pat dry, rub with cooking oil, shortening, butter or margarine, prick potatoes with a fork.
• Bake for 40 to 60 minutes or till tender.
• (or microwave on high for 15 to 20 minutes till tender) Cut potatoes lengthwise into quarters.
• Scoop out the pulp, leaving 1/4 inch thick shells.
• Reserve the pulp for mashed potatoes or another use.
• Brush both sides of the potato pieces with the 1/4 cup butter or margarine.
• Sprinkle the insides with seasoned salt and ground red pepper.
• Place potato pieces, skin sides up, on the unheated rack of a broiler pan.
• Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat for 3 minutes.
• Turn potato pieces skin side down.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
• Broil 2 minutes more.
• Arrange the potato pieces on a heated serving platter.
• Serve with desired toppers.
• To make ahead, bake, scoop, and season the potatoes, place in a covered container and regrigerate up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Pierce the potatoes a few times and microwave for 10 mins or bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 40 mins.
• Heat (or increase) oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve each potato and scoop out roughly half the flesh to save for another meal (you can mash and freeze it). Cut the potato skins in half lengthways, then season and rub with the oil. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment, arrange the potato skins in a single layer and bake for 15 mins until starting to crisp.
• Scatter over the beans, salsa and cheese and return to the oven for 10-15 mins until the cheese is bubbling. Chop the avocado and toss in the lime juice. Top the potato skins with the avocado mix, coriander and red onion.
