Baked Potato Skins With Chorizo

Ingredients

8 Medium Russet Potatoes, scrubbed
2 Tbsp Canola Oil
1 (160 g) Chorizo, sliced and halved
1 Medium Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
200 g Grated Mixed Cheese (Monterey and Cheddar)
Sour Cream
Chopped Scallions
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Smoked Paprika

Method

Preheat the oven to 400˚F.

Place the potatoes on a large baking tray. Bake the potatoes for 45 to an hour, or until softened. Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and cook the Chorizo for about 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the chopped onion and continue to cook until the Chorizo and onions are golden brown in color. Set aside.

Cut each potato in half and scoop out the flesh and leaving about ¼ inch of the potato skin.

Brush the potato inside out with canola oil. Then bake in the oven for about 8 to 10 minutes on each side until they are crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Turn the oven to 450˚F.
