Potato-Skin Nachos with Queso

INGREDIENTS

For the Potato Skins:

6 medium (4 pounds) Idaho potatoes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

For the Queso:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

¼ cup finely diced white onion

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

½ jalapeño—stemmed, seeded and diced

1 tablespoon flour

½ cup, plus 2 tablespoons, milk

1 vine-ripe tomato, stemmed and diced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, loosely packed

1 cup (4 ounces) grated cheddar cheese

1 cup (4 ounces) grated Monterey Jack cheese

For the Potato-Skin Nachos:

1 avocado, halved and pitted

2 tablespoons lime juice

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

½ cup (2 ounces) grated cheddar cheese

½ cup (2 ounces) grated Monterey Jack cheese

6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Sour cream, for garnish

Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish

Chopped romaine lettuce, for garnish

Roughly chopped cilantro, for garnish

Sliced pickled jalapeños, for garnish

Diced tomato, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 400º. With a sharp knife, pierce each potato in a few spots and place onto a baking sheet. Bake until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife and the skins are crisp, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool and set the oven to broil.

2. Slice each potato in half lengthwise and, using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, leaving about ¼ inch intact. Reserve the potato flesh for another use. Brush both sides of each potato skin liberally with melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Place each potato half, skin-side up, onto a baking sheet and broil until crisp and golden, 5 minutes. Flip each potato and broil until the edges begin to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.

3. Make the queso: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and jalapeño, and cook until soft, 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook another 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cilantro. Slowly mix in the grated cheeses in 3 batches, making sure the cheese is well incorporated before adding more. Keep warm.

4. Assemble the potato skin nachos: In a small bowl, roughly mash the avocado with the lime juice and season with salt and pepper, then set aside. Top each potato skin with the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese and crumbled bacon, and broil until the cheese is bubbling and golden, 2 minutes.

5. Transfer the potato skins to a platter and drizzle with half of the queso. Spoon the avocado mixture and sour cream on top. Garnish with scallions, romaine, cilantro, pickled jalapeños and tomato, and serve with the remaining queso on the side.
