Jalapeno Popper Potato Skins | Food Wishes

Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with jalapeno popper potato skins.

That's right. We're going to take these two iconic sports bar appetizer menu items and we're going to put them together to make a new incredible party snack. And if you got friends coming over to watch the game, I cannot think of a better choice.

And to get started, we're going to take some relatively small, uniformly sized rusted potatoes, and we're going to prick them all over with the tip of a small knife, which is going to help some of the moisture vent

out as these roast. And by the way, make sure these are scrubbed and washed very well. Since one of the keys to a great potato skin, is actually being able to eat the potato skin. And that's it. Once our very clean potatoes have been pricricked, we will drizzle over a generous amount of vegetable oil, and we'll give these a quick massage.

And once those are nice and evenly coated, we will transfer those onto a foil line baking sheet. And we will space those out nice and evenly, at which point we're going to transfer those into the center of a 400°ree oven for about an hour or so, or until our potatoes are tender, which is not something we ever want to guess about.

So, what we'll do is grab that small knife again, and we'll go ahead and give these a test. And that knife should slide right in. And once we've determined they've cooked long enough, we will simply let those sit until they're cool enough to handle. I mean, we could cut them and scoop them piping hot, but why would you? Especially since we have other things to do. And one of those things would be to prep our jalapeno peppers. And we're actually going to need these in two different ways, right?

We're going to want some nice thickly cut rings. And then in a few moments,
