Italian Potato Skins

I am sucker for some good Potato Skins. I love mine loaded with sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, sour cream and chives. Well last year when I got serious about losing weight and feeling great, I had a small dinner party with some girlfriends of mine. I made baked chicken, a nice salad, and potato skins. The potato skins that I made weren’t the unhealthy, heart stopping ones that I mentioned before. In fact, I had to figure out what to put in them. That is when the masterpiece came! I had some spinach, a couple of tomatoes, and some feta cheese in my fridge and I thought that would make a perfect combination as a filling to the skins. They were a huge hit! My friends loved them because they were satisfying, comforting, yet healthy.

These babies can be served as a meal or as a side dish.  I call them boats because I used the one pound potatoes. You know? The big long ones. Those are the kind of potatoes that you are going to need to make these. I made them again for you to try at your next tailgate party or group gathering. Let me know how you like them!
