Potato Skins with mixed herbs

In my previous entry, I wrote about Pipay’s cooking lessons.  They made simple dishes like biscuits, sandwiches & potato skins with mixed herbs.  The latter was my favorite.  And I am sharing here how it’s done.  ^_^

Potato skins with mixed herbs

Ingredients:

4-5 pieces potatoes

½ c grated quickmelt cheese

½ cup grated cheddar cheese

¼ c mushrooms, sliced

¼ cup bacon bits

2 tbsp olive or melted butter

1 tbsp each of chopped rosemary, thyme and basil

Procedure:

Boil potatoes until done.  Hollow out the top of potatoes, forming a small boat shaped shell.

Mash the scraped out potato pieces with fork.

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients with the mashed potatoes.

Brush the potato shells with melted butter.

Fill each shell with the cheese-herb mixture.

Assemble potato shells in a tray. Top with bacon bits.

 Bake until cheese melts and potatoes are heated through, about  8-10 minutes.

Serve immediately with herbed sour cream on the side.
