Potato Skins with Blue Cheese

With the Ashes Test still going, I wonder what will be the best munchies to go with it?

POTATO SKINS!

Here I used both golden delight potato and red delight potato.
Pick golden delight potato if you want to be able to fit more fillings and crunchier skin.
Pick red delight potato if you want more of 'bite-size' potato skins, as they are available mostly in medium size (flatter compared to golden delight potatoes) and they have tender skins (which tends to curl when you bake them).

Red and Golden Delight potatoes

Potato skins is similar to pizza, you can throw anything in the fridge and you are good to go.
This time, I have leftover blue cheese. So, here we go!

What you will need:
- 1kg of potatoes
- Oil Spray
- 150g Chopped bacon
- 50-75g Blue Cheese
- 100g Mozzarella Cheese
- 100g Red Capsicum (or any other colour)
- a handful of chopped onion spring
- Jalapenos and chilli flakes (if you like it spicy)

Step one:

Preheat the oven on 180C

Wash the potatoes and put them in the oven for 45-50 minutes

Bake for 45 minutes

 Usually, while waiting, I will cook the bacon, chop the capsicum, jalapenos, and onion spring.

Cooked bacon

Step two:
Take them out and cut them in half, length wise.
Scoop the inside, leave about 5mm of potato. (Careful! They are hot!)

Scoop them out!

Step three:
Put the scooped potatoes skin-side up on the rack and spray them with the oil.
Put them back into the oven for 10 minutes.
After that, flip the potatoes over (skin side down), spray and pop them into the oven for 10 minutes.

Step four:

Put bacon, capsicum, jalapenos, cheeses on and put them back to the oven for 10 minutes.

Ready to be put into the oven

Step five:
Take them out of the oven and let them cool a bit.
I know you can't wait to eat them up, but believe me, hold your horses.
You can serve them with sour cream and sweet chilli.
But I like them as they are, the blue cheese give that enough saltiness that you don't have to add anymore flavour.

Do not forget to sprinkle the onion spring and they are ready to eat!

DONE!

Beer on your left hand, potato skins on your right, what more can you have..?
Enjoy!

That's it folks!

Until next time,
