    List of Ingredients




    Crisp Potato Skins with Chili Cheese Dip


    Medium russet potatoes 6
    Oil for frying

    CHILI CHEESE DIP

    Oil 1 tbsp

    1 Small onion, finely chopped
    1 Garlic clove, crushed
    Chili powder 1 tsp
    Sour cream 1/4 cup
    Cheddar cheese, grated 2 cup

    Recipe




    Scrub potatoes and dry thoroughly, do not peel.

    Poke each potato twice with a fork.

    Bake in preheated 400 F (200 C) oven for 1 hour, turning once, until skins are crisp and flesh is soft when pierced with a knife.

    Remove from oven and cool.

    Cut in half and scoop out flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch (.5 cm) of potato in the shell (save unused flesh for another use).

    Cut each potato half into three wedges.

    Heat oil in a medium heavy bottom pan.

    Gently lower batches of potato skins in moderately hot oil.

    Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden and crisp.

    Drain on paper towels.

    Serve immediately with Chili Cheese Dip.

    CHILI CHEESE DIP:

    Heat oil in a small pan.

    Add onion and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes or until soft.

    Add garlic and chili powder, cook for 1 minute stirring.

    Add sour cream and stir until mixture is warm and thinned down slightly; add cheese and stir until melted and mixture is almost smooth.

    Serve hot.

    Serves 6
