For Christmas this year, my mother-in-law made these great
looking little potato skins for an appetizer. They were just potato skins,
stuffed with bacon, cheese and onions. I of course couldn’t eat them because of
the cheese and onions so I decided to make my own! We don’t eat a lot of white
potatoes and I’m currently on a non-dairy diet so I modified this quite a bit.
They turned out really great though. They would be perfect for a game day snack
or party food. Plus they are made with more natural ingredients so you don’t
have to feel as guilty for eating them! This makes 8 potato skins.
4 small sweet potatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil
5 slices of turkey bacon, diced
½ cup shredded cheese (I used Daiya DF cheddar)
1 Tbsp chives
1 Tbsp coconut sugar
Paprika
Garlic salt
Black pepper
- Bake sweet potatoes as desired, oven or microwave, until just cooked. Cut baked potatoes in half, lengthwise and carefully scoop out insides, leaving about ¼ inch layer of potato in shell.
- In a large skillet, cook diced bacon pieces until cooked through.
- On a large baking sheet, lay potato shells and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle coconut sugar, chives, paprika, salt and pepper onto potatoes.
- Sprinkle turkey bacon inside potato shells and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake at 450°F for about 15 minutes or until shells are crispy and cheese is melted. Serve with ranch or sour cream.
