Potato Skins Potato Skins
This is a very old recipe, that I kinda was , do I want to put this on here...?! So happens to be how a rib house made their famous potatoes skins , the place is no longer in business in my area, and hadn’t been for years , but iam sure other restaurants make them this way.... so that’s the backstory on that lol... there is a 3 step process in cooking these, they can be time consuming... but so worth it I promise lol 😂, If I know iam making these ahead of time I will do the first 5 ( it’s really only making bake potatoes , scooping and freezing) steps and freeze them overnight, other times it’s last minute and I freeze them for just a few hrs . Smaller potatoes work best for this, it’s a great way to use up them small potatoes that are just to small for bake potatoes 🥔. ( this recipe is one of the first recipe I made when I got into cooking, and could make very well iam famous lol for making these lol I never gave away my how to until now. 🌈NinjaMommaKitchen🌈 -

Black Bean Stuffed Potato Skins Black Bean Stuffed Potato Skins
This makes a nice, meatless meal option. Most of the time spent making it is hands off while the potatoes bake up. If you want your skins to be super crispy, then once you hollow them out, brush them with more oil and return them to the oven for a few minutes before filling them. Christina -
