Greek Potato Skins
"You can do most of this recipe ahead, have your skins ready and baked the first 5 minute baking and have your cheese mixture ready and in the fridge. Continue on to the last steps just before serving. These go over well with sports fans, however I think you'll want to make more than 32!"

these are wonderful!!! we had these with other greek dishes and loved them. they are very easy to make and even easier to eat!! thanks for the great recipe bergy!! -
mmmm these were so good my husband ate one and saved one for last! I made them twice baked instead and stuffed all the goodies inside also added some Kalamata Olives and roasted garlic since I was using the oven time mashed it together and topped with the feta. I used green onion because I didn't have any basil or rosemary on hand. I will def make these again when I do. Thanks =)

Thank you for this wonderful recipe very delicious very easy, i sliced tomatoes and brushed with olive oil and place on top they were very good -
Bergy, this recipe is absolutely FABULOUS!!!! The crispy potato skins go so well with the herbed and partially melted feta cheese. Mmmm, soooo yummy! I luved the ease of preparing this recipe and how amazing it tasted in the end. Its fit for company for sure, but also simple enough to make it often for yourself. A real winner! I used low-fat feta cheese and just 1/2 ts oil, which worked out really well. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us! Made and reviewed for the Mediterranian Event in the Photo Forum and The Herb of The Month Club in the French Forum April 2010. -
These were very tasty! I just had a problem getting the skin to my mouth without a lot of the feta falling. I think next time I will spread a little sour cream or yogurt on the potato in hopes that the feta will stick to it better. Otherwise, very nice! Thanks.

These were very tasty :) Used 1 diced garlic clove in place of the garlic salt and worked out well. -
Delicious! My potatoes were rather small, so I didn't cut the wedges crosswise. I baked the skins a few more than the 5 minutes called for, as I wanted them extra crispy. The only thing I would do differently next time is use minced fresh garlic instead of garlic salt. Thanks for posting, Bergy!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
