Western Omelet Breakfast Potato Skins Recipes

Steps:

• Toppings: Sauteed green pepper, onion and ham, paprika and chopped parsley 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:

• Bake potatoes in the microwave for 10 minutes; turn over and bake another 5-8 minutes until baked through (test with a toothpick). Set aside to cool.
• Melt butter in skillet over medium heat.
• Beat eggs in a bowl; add water; beat a little more. Add eggs to skillet and scramble until done. Set aside.
• Once potatoes have cooled enough to be handled, cut them lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/4 inch layer of pulp in the skins; discard pulp (or save/use for something else).
• Place skins upside down (skin side up) on a greased baking sheet.
• Combine oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl; brush all over each skin.
• Bake at 475 degrees for about 8 minutes; remove baked skins from oven.
• Turn the skins over and fill each one with scrambled eggs and sprinkle cheese on top.
• Return to oven long enough to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
• Remove from oven and add salsa, sour cream, bacon and green onions, or whatever other toppings you like. (Add the salsa first and then the sour cream so that other toppings will 'stick" to the sour cream.).

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 5 min. Meanwhile, cook bacon in large skillet on medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings. Add peppers, tomatoes and onions to skillet; cook and stir on medium heat 3 min.
• Drain potatoes. Add to skillet; cook 15 min., stirring occasionally.
• Make 6 small wells in potato mixture. Add 1 egg to each well; top with bacon and cheese. Cover; cook 5 to 8 min. or until eggs are set.
