Guacamole Stuffed Potato Skins

Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse and scrub the potatoes under water and then dry them with paper towel and use a brush to rub each potato with a thin layer of olive oil.

2. 2

   Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes {you want the potatoes to be soft to cut and starting to crisp on the skin}.

3. 3

   Remove the potatoes from the oven and let sit for five minutes, or until you can handle them. Cut each potato in half and using a spoon or scoop gently scoop out the center leaving a thin layer of potato in the skin {save the center of the potatoes for mashed potatoes or soup}.

4. 4

   Place the halved potatoes on a broiler pan or roasting pan. Turn the oven up to 450.

5. 5

   Rub each potato skin with the canola or avocado oil {you want a high smoke point oil} and sprinkle the inside with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a roasting or broiler pan and bake for 18 minutes or until the skins are crispy, flipping half way through.

6. 6

   Remove the potato skins from the oven and sprinkle the cheese on the inside of each potato. Return the potato skins to the oven for 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Remove the potato skins from the oven and layer each potato with guacamole, salsa, Greek yogurt, chopped red onion and green onion {or whatever garnishes you desire}.

8. 8

   Serve warm.
