How to Make Tex Mex Potato Skins
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut 4 large baked potatoes in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the cooked potato flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. Reserve the potato flesh for another use (mashed potatoes, soup, etc.).
- Place potato skins on an ungreased baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of your favorite sausage (Italian sausage recommended) over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 cup of your favorite salsa to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to combine with the sausage.
- Spoon the sausage and salsa mixture into the potato skins.
- Top each potato skin generously with 1 cup of nacho cheese sauce.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the skins are heated through.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and a few sliced ripe olives per serving, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
