These former day of winter — with garden duties fading and the first frigid winds causing us to craveclassic comfort food — exalt us to get originative with our bumperpotato cropthis workweek . Ironically , despite our love for all things potato , we ’ve never made Irish potato hide before and now have a big intellectual nourishment crush on this renewed version of a classic appetiser .
Potato skins credibly get caught in the stereotype of bad streak food . There are so many over - processed , greasy versions out there on appetiser menus that we leave they can really be quite tasty and healthy . The nice affair about murphy skins is that you may customize topping and easily fit a family with unlike taste taste .
Here ’s the mystery to our version of potato skin : Brush the skin with veteran olive rock oil and then bake the skins solo before adding toppings . That step nicely scrunch up the pelt so it is both heighten the flavors of what you add on top while also keeping the pelt firm and promiscuous to pick up and cover . We like to employ our garden ’s Russet murphy , the classic bake - Irish potato variety , for our potato skins , but you may readily use any character of white potato vine . Feel free to also customise the seasonings that go into the olive oil ; we ’ve used anything from season salt tooreganoandthyme .
you’re able to multiply this recipe to accommodate groups . The baked Solanum tuberosum tegument travel well on a jellyroll cooking pan topotlucks , and we never come up home with leftover . The peel taste intimately wise out of the oven and loose some of the crisp broker when reheated . If you do have leftovers , warm them up in a depleted oven to restore crispiness . Remember to bring through the insides of the sunbaked white potato vine for crunch white potato or other dishes . We care to use the inside in a batch of our Fried Potato Latkes , recipe in ourFarmstead Chefcookbook .
