  • Some of these sound like just normal jacket spuds to me :confused:

    My idea of potato skins, is exactly that, just the skins sliced into strips and baked until crispy with cheese/bacon or whatever melted over them :D

    But then again, I've never eaten in Pizza Hut so have no idea what they class as potato skins :p

  • Theres some potato in it, like a bit scooped out and the filling put in. You can get them in icelands but I do object to paying out good money for a pretty potato skin, but I do love them!!!
  • can i post links on here? mod please remove if i can't

    there's a brill site where a lot of the recipes are free and tells you how to make lots of 'brand name' recipes like Starbucks hot chocolate, McDonalds burger sauce etc.

    They give you a free recipe every week.

    Have tried a couple of things from this site, and the Starbucks hot choc tastes exactly the same - tons of sugar though :eek: But still a lot cheaper than actually visiting the place (especially for 6 of us!) :D

    I bake the potatoes in advance (while the oven is on for something else). Cut in half, scoop out some of the flesh, but leave a layer on the skin. You can use the removed potato for fishcakes or just as plain mash.
    Put the hollowed out potato "shells" on a baking tray on a hot oven to crisp up for 15 mins(ish), then fill with crispy fried bacon pieces & cheese. I prefer mozzarella, but anything will be fine. Bake until cheese is melted. Mmmmm........I want some NOW!

    I've just salvaged a bag of potatoes from under the kitchen sink :confused: and they are now merrily cooking and will become various kinds of mash to stock up the freezer. Now I'm left with a pile of potato skins and wonder if anyone has a useful recipe to convert them into lovely edible skins? If and when I get them cooked could I then freeze the skins for later consumption or do I have to have a skin fest this weekend??


    I have tried to search under 'potato' but got umpteen recipes for other stuff!
