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.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4 inch on the skin. Brush canola oil all over the potato skins, outside and inside, and sprinkle with salt. Reserve flesh for another use.
- Bake skins in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip and continue to bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven. Turn on the oven's broiler.
- Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
- Arrange the potato skins flesh-side up on a roasting pan or rack. Sprinkle the insides with pepper, Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Add a dollop of sour cream to each skin and sprinkle with green onions.

Steps:
- Start by making the vinaigrette. Put the mustard and red wine vinegar into a bowl or jug and whisk together. Add salt and pepper then slowly add the sunflower oil, whisking as you go until the mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in the chopped chives and store in the fridge until needed.
- Boil the potatoes for 15-18 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to steam dry for a few mins then add the butter, keep warm until serving.
- Arrange all the other ingredients in bowls, plates and platters on the table. Set up and turn on the raclette machine according to manufacturer's instructions - you may want to set the raclette machine on a heatproof tray to catch any melty cheesy drips.
- Let your guests help themselves to ingredients - if your raclette machine has a top hot plate use this to keep the potatoes warm or crisp them up and use to cook the peppers if you don't want them raw.
- Get stuck in! Everyone should have their own mini handled tray on which to put a slice or two of raclette cheese. This then sits under the central grill until melted. With an arrangement of potatoes and/or cured meats etc on their plate, your guests can then scrape their own portion of melted cheese on top with a wooden paddle or spoon. Leave the jug of vinaigrette on the table so it can be drizzled over the potatoes or salad leaves to taste. Serve with crusty bread on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Butter a 2- to 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Bake potatoes directly on upper rack until tender, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly; when cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out flesh, reserving skins. Rice or mash potato flesh in a large bowl; add butter, sour cream, cream cheese, half of raclette, milk, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix until smooth and creamy. Transfer to prepared dish; top with remaining raclette.
- Slice potato skins into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; toss with oil, garlic, sage, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread in a single layer. Bake casserole on upper rack and skins on lower rack until cheese melts and skins become crisp and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle roasted skins over casserole; top with chives and serve.
RACLETTE
Steps:
- In a large pot combine 8 cups water, potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- If you have oven-proof plates, preheat a broiler. If you do not have oven-proof plates, preheat oven to 250 degrees. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Divide the warm potatoes, cut-side up, evenly among four plates, arranging them in a pinwheel pattern.
- Arrange one quarter of the cheese slices in a single layer over each portion of potatoes, taking care to completely cover all potatoes. Broil or bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes in a broiler or 10 minutes in an oven.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with scallions sprinkled on top. Cornichons, pickled onions and pickled cauliflower are optional accompaniments. If desired, the dish may be served with a green salad.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato skins because they have a high starch content, which makes them crispy when baked. Avoid using waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they will not crisp up as well.
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes. You can use a vegetable brush to scrub them.
- Prick the potatoes with a fork: This will help to prevent the potatoes from bursting in the oven.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 45 minutes to an hour. You can check to see if the potatoes are done by inserting a fork into them. The fork should easily slide into the potatoes.
- Scoop out the potato flesh: Once the potatoes are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before scooping out the flesh. You can use a spoon or a melon baller to do this.
- Season the potato skins: You can season the potato skins with any spices or herbs that you like. Some popular choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Fill the potato skins: You can fill the potato skins with any fillings that you like. Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives.
- Bake the potato skins again: Once the potato skins are filled, bake them again for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the potato skins: Serve the potato skins immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Raclette potato skins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, cheesy, and flavorful, and they are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy appetizer, be sure to give raclette potato skins a try!
