Whether I’m at a cookout, a picnic, you name it, I’m all about the appetizers. Combining two of my favorites not only tastes amazing, but makes for more room on my plates so I can enjoy allllll the apps.
Whole30 Potato Salad Stuffed Potato Skins
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 tbsp ghee (can use butter if not Whole30)
- 4 strips compliant bacon (I use Applegate)
- 1-2 tbsp bacon grease
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- ¾ cup compliant mayo (I use Primal Kitchen Foods avocado mayo)
- 1 tbsp compliant mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt, pepper, parsley and rosemary (to taste)
- Green onions and dill to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use your hands to coat washed potatoes with ghee and bake for 60 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, prepare the potato salad. Start by hard boiling the eggs and cooking the bacon.
- Once eggs are cooked and cooled, peel and chop into cubes, then set aside in a large bowl. Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside as well.
- Measure and combine the mayo, mustard, apple cider vinegar, 3/4 of your bacon and spices to the bowl with the eggs.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to cool to the touch.
- Once cool, slice in half and scoop out the center into the bowl with the filling that has been started. Tip: the potatoes are easier to scoop out if the insides are a little warm!
- Spoon tiny bits of bacon grease onto each potato skin and spread evenly.
- Place potato skins back into the oven face up for five minutes, then flip face down and bake for five more minutes.
- Remove the skins from the oven and allow to cool. Stuff the skins with the potato salad and top with green onions, extra crumbled pieces of bacon and any leftover fresh herbs.
I have made these a million times! Such an easy and filling recipe. The one thing I would say is I definitely shouldn’t fill all of the skins if I wont be eating them that night. They are much easier to warm up the next day if the filling is separate.
Hi Emily! That’s a great idea if you plan to have leftovers/aren’t serving them as an app for a group! Thank you for sharing!
