JALAPEñO POPPER TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Gently scrub potatoes but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with fork to allow steam to escape while potatoes bake.
• Bake 1 hour or until tender when pierced with fork. Cool slightly.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each in half lengthwise. Scoop out inside of each half into medium bowl, leaving thin potato shell on each. Set shells aside. Mash potatoes with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until no lumps remain. Add cream cheese, butter, 2 tablespoons of the milk, the salt and pepper; stir or beat until smooth and fluffy. If needed, add more milk. Stir in bacon, chopped chile and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
• Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture; place on ungreased sheet. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese and arrange a few chile rings on top of each half.
• Bake 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are hot.

TWICE-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Position racks in the top and middle of the oven, and heat oven to 400 degrees. Take the butter out of the refrigerator to soften. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Poke holes all over them with a fork. In a large bowl, toss them with the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the potatoes directly on the top rack, and place a baking sheet or a piece of foil on the middle rack to catch drips. Bake for about 1 hour, until the skin is crisp and potatoes offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Slice the top third lengthwise off the potatoes. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving 1/4-inch border of potato on the skin, and transfer the flesh to a medium bowl. Scrape the potato tops of all flesh, and add the flesh to the bowl. Place the bottoms on a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Snack on the tops - chef's treat - or discard.)
• Mash the potato flesh with a fork or potato masher. Add the butter, and stir until smooth (try not to overwork). Add the milk, sour cream and cheese and stir to combine. (If you want the filling softer, add more milk.) Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chives, if using.
• Mound each potato skin with a quarter of the filling. Bake the potatoes until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Wash and pierce the skins of the baking potatoes.
• Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a knife easily slides to the center of the potatoes. Remove the seeds and veins from one jalapeno. Leave the seeds and veins in the second one to give your potatoes some jalapeno heat. This is actually fairly mild, so you could leave seeds and veins in both peppers, if you like your dishes a little hotter.
• Mince the jalapeno. Chop the bacon.
• Slice baked potatoes in half, lengthwise, and scoop the potato pulp out into a mixing bowl. You can leave a thin layer of potato in the skins to help them be more sturdy and stable. Place the empty skins on a baking sheet and set aside.
• Add the sour cream, cream cheese and butter to the potato pulp in the mixing bowl and mash until all ingredients are combined and the potatoes are light and fluffy.
• Add the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, bacon and jalapeño. Stir to combine with, and evenly distribute through, the mashed potato mixture.
• Spoon the filling back into the potato skin "shells." Fill them generously. They will mound above the rim of the skin.
• Sprinkle each potato with 1 tablespoon panko bread crumbs.
• Arrange the filled potato skins on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes, until the cheeses have melted, the filling is hot and the Panko crumbs have browned on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and toss them to coat. Roast until the potatoes are tender and the skin is slightly crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Use a spoon or small scoop to remove the insides, leaving a small margin of potato intact.
• To the scooped out potatoes, add the Monterey Jack, cream cheese, sour cream, chives, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until the mixture is totally smooth. Give it a taste and add more salt if necessary.
• Scoop the mixture into the potato shells. At this point you can cover and refrigerate them until dinnertime. When you're ready, bake the potatoes in the oven until golden brown on top.

• Microwave until a fork can be easily inserted into them.

• Scoop out your potato and mix on all ingredients. (Your Jalapeno peppers should be de-seeded and diced.).
• Scoop back into your potato skins.
• Top with pre-sliced Swiss cheese.
• Bake at 400 degrees until cheese is slightly browned on top.

BAKED POTATOES WITH CRAB, JALAPEñO AND MINT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Scrub potatoes under running water; dry them, and rub the skin of each with the oil and a little salt. Pierce the skin of each in three or four places with the tines of a fork.
• Place the potatoes in the oven, and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers.
• While the potatoes are baking, lightly toss the crab meat in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, shredded mint, diced jalapeño and sour cream.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open down the middle and use a spoon to scrape out their flesh into a bowl. Add the butter, salt and pepper and mash to combine. Spoon the mixture back into the empty jackets, place on a baking sheet, top with the crab-meat mixture and shower with cheese. Return to the oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
