Materials

Crispy Potato Skins

4 medium-sized potatoes (for baking) washed and scrubbed
Pritikin® All-Purpose Seasoning* or mix your own (below)
canola oil cooking spray

Homemade Seasoning Mix

2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons chili powder salt-free
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons corriander
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons lemon pepper salt-free

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F.
If not using Pritikin All-Purpose Seasoning, prepare Homemade Seasoning Mix and set aside.
Slice each potato into quarters lengthwise. Holding knife parallel to cutting board, remove most of flesh from skin, leaving about ¼-inch of flesh.
Place potato skins in large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to boil and cook until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skins from water and drain well.
Lightly mist nonstick baking pan with canola oil cooking spray.
Place potatoes in a single layer, flesh side up, on baking pan. Sprinkle potato skins with seasoning mixture.
Roast potato skins in oven until crisp and golden, 30 to 45 minutes.

Notes

Enjoy these very healthy Crispy Potato Skins alone, or dip them in fat-free sour cream, low-sodium salsa, or your favorite Pritikin salad dressing.
