Potato Skins with Dips
Potato skin are full of fibre and naturally gluten free. We have served ours with a selection of dips. Feel free to just make one as each dip is enough for 4 people. They all keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days so if you have any left over, they are great in gluten free wraps with salad, or stirred through gluten free pasta.

Method
Potato Skins
- Scrub the potatoes clean, then bake them in an oven at 200°C, 400°F Gas mark 6 for about an hour until they are cooked through. You will know that they are done if they give a little when squeezed.
- Cut the potatoes into quarters and scoop out the insides leaving about 1cm of potato on the skin. (Reserve the scooped out potato for another dish).
- Now increase the heat of the oven to 220C°, 425°F gas mark 7. Brush the potato skins with a little olive oil, covering all the skins, outside and in. Sprinkle with salt.
- Place on a tray in the oven.
- Cook for 10 minutes on one side, then flip the skins over and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until they are cool enough to handle.
- Remove the core of the peppers, and then cut them into large flat pieces.
- Arrange the pepper pieces, skin-side up, on a baking sheet. Grill them for 5-10 minutes, until the pepper skins have charred.
- Place the peppers to a re-sealable plastic bag. Seal this, and then wait 10 to 15 minutes until the peppers are cool enough to handle. Gently peel away the charred pepper skin and discard. Reserve 1 to 2 pieces of the peeled roasted pepper pieces to use as a garnish when serving, then roughly chop the rest.
- Pop all the other ingredients into the blender and blitz to a smooth dip and top with the garnish.
