- 6-8 cloves garlic
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- Lemon pepper
Instructions:
To Make Garlic Dip:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic, Dijon mustard, and egg yolks, stirring until well blended.
- Combine the vegetable and olive oils, then slowly add them to the garlic mixture, starting with a drop at a time while beating constantly.
- As the mixture thickens, gradually increase the oil flow, beating until smooth.
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
To Make Potato Skins:
- Preheat the oven to 375-400°F (190-200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Pierce the potatoes in several places with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then cut them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/8 to ¼ inch thick shell (reserve the flesh for other recipes).
- Increase the oven temperature to 500°F (260°C).
- Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut each potato shell into halves and then into quarters, yielding 8 sections for each potato.
- Brush both sides of the potato skins with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are crisp.
- Serve the crispy potato skins hot, accompanied by the garlic dip.
