Potato Skins

 

What you need:
  •  6 potatoes 
  • Olive, peanut or canola oil
  • Salt (Kosher is best)
  • Pepper
  • 6 strips of bacon cooked and crubled
  • 1 cup grated cheese
  • Sour cream (optional)
  • Green onions thinly sliced (also optional)
Directions:
  1. Bake your potatoes either in the oven at 400° for around an hour or in the microwave around 5 minutes per potato or use the baked potato setting for best results. Either way is fine and the finished potato skins come out the same. 
  2. Let potatoes cool to where you can handle them and slice each in half and heat your oven to 450°
  3. Scoop out the center of the potato leaving about 1/4th inch of potato around the sides. 
  4. Brush your choice of oil on both sides of the potato and place on a wire rack in a roasting pan and sprinkle with kosher salt
  5. Bake for 10 minutes then turn potatoes over and bake for another 10 minutes
  6. Remove potatoes, fill with cheese top with bacon and broil until cheese is bubbling
  7. Top with sour cream and onions if you choose to

Pumpkin Pie Fudge

  This is some very ugly fudge but it tastes great and is easy to make What you need: 3 cups white sugar 1 cup milk 3 Tbs light corn syrup 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, I don't add these) Directions: Butter or grease an 8x8 inch pan. In a 3 quart sauce pan, mix together sugar, milk, corn syrup, pumpkin and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling. DO NOT STIR. When mixture registers at 232° on a candy thermometer, or forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water, remove from heat. Stir in pumpkin spice, vanilla, butter and nuts if you are using them.  Cool to lukewarm (110°) then beat mixture until it is thick and loses some of it's gloss. Quickly pour into greased  pan and cut when firm.
