Super Bowl Recipes: Hot Potato Boat

Ingredients: 2 ½ pounds small to medium sized potatoes 4 tablespoons light sour cream ½ teaspoons salt ¼ pound hot habanero cheddar, shredded ½ pound turkey bacon slices 1 garlic clove, finely chopped (Elizabeth Carrion)

Step 1: Wash potatoes and cut each in half.

Step 2: Boil potatoes on medium-high heat for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. Then drain and cool enough to handle by hand.

Step 3: While potatoes are cooking, fry turkey bacon until crispy.

Step 4: Shred habanero cheese. Set aside. * Goat cheese and queso blanco (farmers cheese) are good options if you don’t like too much heat.

Step 5: With a spoon, scoop out potato leaving skin intact.

Step 6: Line potato boats on baking sheet.

Step 7: Mix potato, sour cream, garlic, half the shredded cheese and salt until well combined.

Step 8: Spoon mixture into each potato boat and top with remaining cheese.

Step 9: Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees until cheese is melted. Then top with turkey bacon crumbles for a flavorful crunch. Other options: Replace bacon with panko crumbs, then bake and you will still experience the extra crunchy topping.
