Ingredients
5small russet potatoes
1-2tspolive oil
kosher salt or sea saltfor sprinkling
½cuptomato
¼cuppepper
¼cupcucumber
1avocado
½a small lemon or lime
10ozSabra Roasted Garlic Hummus
2-3tbspfresh parsley
OPTIONAL EXTRAS:
crumbled feta
fresh microgreens
minced red onion
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and scrub your potatoes, and pierce each a few times with a fork or knife.
Pat dry, then rub each spud with a little olive oil.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes, until fluffy and tender inside.
Allow potatoes to cool a bit, then slice each in half and scoop out the centers into a bowl. Save that fluffy goodness for some cheater mashed potatoes or another tasty recipe!
Switch oven to BROIL on HIGH.
Brush some olive oil on each side of the potatoes. Place potatoes skin side up on your baking sheet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Broil for 2-3 minutes, then flip (skin-side down) and broil for another 2-3 minutes until golden crispy.
Allow to cool while you prep and chop your tomato, pepper, cucumber, and avocado.
Squeeze the juice of about 1/2 a lemon over the avocado to prevent browning. You can also drizzle a little olive oil over the avocado if you'd like. I'm a big fan of this!
Spread each potato skin with hummus and top with your freshly chopped veggies! Top with fresh parsley to garnish along with any other extras you'd like to add. Enjoy!
Notes
To find smaller russet potatoes, look for a bag of potatoes vs. the a la carte bin of spuds. The bagged potatoes are typically smaller and perfectly sized for potato skins! Only have big ones handy? No problem! You can slice each potato skin in half before serving - easy peasy!Nutrition Facts below are estimated using an online recipe nutrition calculator and will vary based on swaps and toppings. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
