Mummy Potato Skins
The Halloween season is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to craft eerie yet delicious treats for your family or party guests. The Mummy Potato Skins recipe, with its crispy potato layers and cheesy bacon wraps, brings a fun, spooky vibe to your table. Thanks to the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater, prepping the potatoes and cheese is a breeze, making this dish both simple and festive. Let’s dive into this hauntingly good recipe!
Ingredients
2 large potatoes (about 400g), washed
1 cup (100g) cheddar cheese, grated
6-8 strips of bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup sour cream (for serving)
2 tablespoons chopped chives (for eyes, optional)
Instructions
Prep the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Secure the cheese grater hand crank to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 2-blade set and use the food pusher to safely shred the peeled potatoes into crisp layers. Toss the shreds with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the Base: Bake the potato shreds for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway to ensure even cooking. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Add Cheese and Bacon: Switch to the 5-blade set on the Geedel grater and grate the cheddar cheese into fluffy pieces. Sprinkle the cheese over the potato layer. Cut bacon strips into thin “bandage” pieces and layer them crisscross over the cheese to mimic a mummy’s wrappings.
Final Bake: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Add dollops of sour cream for “eyes” and sprinkle chives for pupils if desired. Serve warm for a spooky yet delicious treat!
Tips and Variations
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for a fiery mummy twist.
Veggie Boost: Mix in shredded carrots (2-blade set) for added color and nutrition.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for crispness.
Pairing: Serve with a side of guacamole for a festive green dip.
