RECIPE FOR LOADED POTATO SKINS
Delicious plant-based loaded vegan potato skins made with easy and simple ingredients. I love potatoes and you will find many easy recipes with potatoes in my blog, and this one is no doubt a family favorite recipe. Also, is really versatile to make too as you can easily change the filling ingredients when preparing this delicious dish.
In order to prepare this delicious recipe I decided to steam the potato skins, to speed up the cooking time. However, if you don’t have or don’t want to steam the potatoes you can boil them or just bake the potato skins. With baked potatoes or twice-baked potatoes, the cooking time may increase in comparison with the cooking time in this recipe.
SEASONING FOR LOADED POTATO SKINS
When I decided to prepare these loaded vegan potato skins I wanted to try healthier ways. Therefore, I made this dish oil-free and tried not to use much salt. However, if you want to give an extra seasoning with these ingredients you can do this; for example, when you remove part of the potato with the fork (potato flesh) you can drizzle olive oil or spread a thin layer of vegan butter or margarine. Then, you can sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
