Instructions
1.
Begin by preparing the potato skins. Place the potatoes in a
large pot and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and boil the potatoes
until they’re fork tender, but still have a bit of firmness in the middle,
about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
2.
While potatoes are boiling, prepare the pomegranate salsa. Place
all ingredients into a small bowl and stir until combined. Refrigerate until
needed.
3.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Once the potatoes have cooled, cut
them in half, lengthwise, and then use a spoon to scoop out the insides until
you have a border that is about 1/4 inch thick (see above for suggestions on
how to use the scooped out potato). Place the potato skins on a baking sheet,
brush them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake the potato
skins until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
4.
While potato skins are baking, prepare the black bean filling.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. When the oil
is hot, add onion and sauté the for 1 minute. Add the green pepper. Cook the
onion and pepper until tender, 3-5 minutes. Next, add the black beans, cumin,
paprika, granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Mix ingredients together and cook
for another 3 minutes just to warm the beans through.
5.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the fruit and
place it in a small bowl. Add lime juice and a pinch of salt, and mash until
creamy.
6.
Assemble potato skins by spreading a small spoonful of avocado
into the bottom of each potato skin and then topping them with a spoonful of
the bean mixture and pomegranate salsa. These are best when served immediately.
