Veggie Potato Skins

I don't know about you, but I love me some TGIFridays action. Their potato skins are delish. And will probably kill me, but I at least have their $5 dollar Happy Hour Margarita(s) to wash down the artery-clogging delight. This helps me forget how bad they are.

With my last post, we made baked potatoes. Perhaps you are like me and tend to over-cook. I of course baked 3 potatoes when I only needed one. This is the first step in making your very own "skins". Please be advised: I made these the next day and have simply been too lazy/busy with my new puppy to post. The potatoes have not been sitting around for a week.

You will need:

2 previously baked potatoes
Butter or Fake Butter of choice - I really Can't Believe It's Not Butter!
Spinach
Mozzarella
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sour Cream/Plain yogurt

1. Cut sides of baked potatoes as thick as you desire your skins.

2. Apply butter/fake butter to potato, followed by spinach and shredded cheese.

3. Pop in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until potatoes are hot and cheese is melted. If you prefer your cheese a little brown on top, place in oven or toaster oven for a few minutes.

4. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sour cream or plain yogurt.

Cost Breakdown
2 baked potatoes at the 99 cent store($.10 each) = $0.20
1/4 bag of spinach at the 99 cent store = $.25
1/4 bag of shredded cheese from WalMart = $.50
