GREEK STYLE POTATOES
Greek Style Potatoes is a simple recipe, and the closest I can get to the real thing. The best is that it can be adjusted to your taste as you bake it. I sometimes add a little more lemon. The potatoes are moist, and great with green beans and baked chicken with a little salsa and feta on top.

GREEK POTATO SKINS
You can do most of this recipe ahead, have your skins ready and baked the first 5 minute baking and have your cheese mixture ready and in the fridge. Continue on to the last steps just before serving. These go over well with sports fans, however I think you'll want to make more than 32!

Steps:
- Pierce potatoes all over with a fork and place on a sheet pan. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 45-60 min, turning once, until fully tender.
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the center of the flesh, leaving a 1/4" wall. (The removed flesh makes excellent mashed potatoes.).
- Drizzle potato skins on both sides with olive oil, rubbing all over gently. Place back on sheet pan, skin side down, and return to oven for 7 minutes. Flip to skin side up and bake 5-10 minutes more, until nice and crispy and browned on the inner rim.
- Sprinkle a nice pinch of kosher or finishing salt on the inside of each skin. Spread each with a tablespoon of yogurt, then sprinkle with a tablespoon of Feta. Place on a heatproof serving dish. Place under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until cheese begins to melt.
- Sprinkle oregano, lemon zest, red onion, black pepper and more salt over skins, then serve hot. (Sprinkling from high up gives even distribution and a rustic look to the serving plate.).

HOMEMADE POTATO SKINS
Homemade potato skins are great while watching football or serving at a casual party. There is absolutely no need to deep fry them. As long as the skins are cooked at a high heat, they will be perfectly crispy! After eating these my boyfriend proclaimed, "no need to spend ten bucks at a restaurant anymore!"

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.

Tips:
- To ensure crispy potato skins, use large baking potatoes and scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork several times before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before scooping out the insides, as this will make it easier to handle them.
- Use a variety of toppings to create different flavors and textures. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.
- If you want to make the potato skins ahead of time, bake them and scoop out the insides up to two days in advance. Store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble and serve.

Greek potato skins are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own personal preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give Greek potato skins a try!
