Ingredients

  • 6 small potatoes (roughly 1 ½ lbs)
  • 1 medium Jalapeño
  • 4 oz cream cheese (1/3 fat is fine), softened to room temperature
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • 1/3 c cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Wash the potatoes, prick them with a fork, and place them on the wire rack in your oven. Roast the potatoes for 40-45 minutes, until a fork can be easily inserted into the center of the largest potato. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes are cooling, slice 12 slices of the jalapeno. Set the slices aside. (We will use them to top the skins later.) Dice the remaining jalapeno.
  3. Mix 1 Tbsp diced jalapeno with the cream cheese, salt, and onion powder. Mix well with a fork. Set aside.
  4. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half, lengthwise. Scoop out a little of the inner potato flesh, leaving ¼ inch around the edges to create a ‘boat’.
  5. Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
  6. Fill each potato skin with 2 tsp of the jalapeno cream cheese. Sprinkle each with a little cheddar cheese and top with a jalapeno slice.
  7. Place the filled skins on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and broil on high, roughly 6 inches from the heating element, for 2-3 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and golden.
  8. Remove from the broiler and serve immediately.
