Ingredients
6 large russet potatoes, well scrubbed1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil1 1/2 tablespoons water2 teaspoons curry powder1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper1/2 tablespoon ground pepper6 green onions, thinly sliced (including green portions)
Approx. 6-8 pieces = 1 serving size (depending on potato size)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. (230 degress C.)
Prick the potatoes several times with a fork, place directly on oven rack, and bake until the interior feels soft when squeezed (65-75 min). Cool for 15 min.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, water, curry, cayenne, and pepper.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp, leaving a shell of pulp about 1/4 inch thick. Reserve the scooped out potato pulp for use in other dishes, such as mashed potatoes or hash browns.
Using a knife or scissors, cut the skins lengthwise into strips about 1 inch wide. Place on the prepared backing sheet and brush with the olive oil mixture.
Bake for 5 minutes. Scatter the green onions over the top and return to the oven, reversing the position of the baking sheet to ensure even baking. Bake until crisp, brown, and sizzling (about 8-10 min).
Dipping sauce options:
Add a bit of curry to regular ketchup for added spice. I've also added a bit of cucumber and garlic salt (to taste) to one cup of fat-free yogurt for a cool, light dipping sauce. Both are fabulous!
