Potato Skins with Spicy Tomato Sauce
Type: Appetizers and Snacks
Potato skins with spicy tomato sauce are a classic favorite.
Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 25M
Serves: Serves 8-10
Ingredients:
- 4 large baking potatoes
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 2/3 cup sour cream
Directions:
- Put the potatoes in the microwave, and cook on full power for 3-4 minutes until softened. (Alternatively, rub the potatoes with a little olive oil, and bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for about 1 hour, until soft when pierced with a knife.) Set aside until cool.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the potatoes are cool, quarter each one, and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer of flesh in the skin to make a shell. Put the skins hollow-side up on a baking sheet, and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle over a pinch of sea salt.
- Mix together the tomatoes, cayenne, and parsley, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Spoon a little of the mixture into each potato skin. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the skins are golden and crispy. Top each of the potato skins with some sour cream and serve on a large plate.
- To sour your own cream, add a squeeze of lemon juice to some light cream, and set aside for 10 minutes before using.
