Super Stuffed Potato Skins!Ingredients (use vegan versions): 2 red skin potatoes (about the size of a fist)
1/4 cup chopped onion
16 smoked almonds (can get at Whole Foods or just use veg bacon bits)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon sriracha or other bright red thick hot sauce
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 slices vegan cheese (Tofutti) rolled up and shredded (I like to use 2 yellow and 1 white)
2 green onions - sliced into rings (use both the green and white part)
Directions:Poke holes all over the potatoes (after you clean them) and microwave for about 5 mins. or until they are done.
Let them cool slightly. Slice in half along the long axis and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4" of potato attached to the skin.
Take the scooped out potato flesh and mix it with the oil, salt, nutritional yeast, mustard and sriracha. It should be a lovely shade of orange (like cheese!
). After it is mixed uniformly, mix in the chopped onions.
Place 4 smoke flavored almonds in the bottom of each potato bowl/boat/skin whatever you'd like to call it.
Place a few shreds of cheese on top of the almonds in each potato skin. Top that with your mixed up orange potato/onion filling. Using your fingers, gently smooth the filling on top so it is rounded and not falling of the sides.
Place the rest of your shredded cheese on top of the potato/onion filling. Bake in an oven or toaster oven for about 15 mins. at 400F or until the cheese on top has melted and started to turn brown just a little. You can help it out if you are impatient by using the broiler for the last few minutes.
Place your super stuffed potato skins on a plate and top with your sliced green onions. Serve with vegan sour cream or eat as is! Enjoy!
