Weeknight Cheesy Kale Potato Skins

1 · Dec 15, 2020 ·

When it comes to healthy diets, potatoes are most often excluded, given their starchy texture and carbs content. However, if you take a closer look at their nutritional value, you’ll find that they’re actually loaded with potassium, iron, fiber, vitamins B6 and C. They even contain antioxidants, not to mention that they’re naturally gluten-free. That’s right, potato lovers, good news at last! They’re not just empty carbs, but nutritional, too. Of course, deep frying your potatoes will add more fat to your meal, but boiling or baking are excellent (and still tasty) alternatives. 

For a nutritious weeknight dinner, combine potatoes with greens or lightly steamed veggies, and add small portions of quality protein (think quinoa or chickpeas) for satiety.

Weeknight Cheesy Kale Potato Skins

For this easy dinner recipe, we kept it simple, with few ingredients and minimal prep. While the potato skins are roasting in the oven, make a no-fuss sauté with your kale and garlic. Use it to fill the potato skins, add cheese, and bake for another 10 minutes, and voila! Your meal is ready. 

We love that you can make these for a big family in the same time you would make them for just one person. And you won’t even need a recipe after you’ve made them once, it’s that easy.
