How to Make Italian Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake 4 medium russet potatoes for 40-50 minutes, or until tender.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly, then cut them in half lengthwise.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the potato flesh, leaving a ½-inch thick shell. Set aside.
- Brush both sides of the potato skins with 2 tablespoons of melted margarine.
- Bake the potato skins at 450°F (230°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown 1 pound Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in ½ cup of your favorite tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried basil, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Fill each potato skin with the sausage mixture.
- Top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately. For later enjoyment, cool completely and freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
