Stuffed Potato Skins

I loved potato skins as a child but as an adult I could never get past potatoes bad rap. Potatoes are not only delicious but they are low in fat and full of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and fiber. Cooked properly and eaten in moderation this delicious stem vegetable should be a food staple. I’m glad I found potatoes again!! Try these healthy and delicious protein packed potato skins. You won’t be sorry.
