With St. Patricks Day just around the corner, and a pantry full of potatoes that need to reused up relatively soon, I decided to make some reuben inspired potato skins. These Reuben Stuffed Potato Skins take some of the standard parts of a reuben and stuffs them into potato skins that are hearty and filling.

These potatoes start out being turned into shells with the potato scooped out and mixed with some dressing and then seasoned. After that they’re topped off with kraut, corned beef, and of course some cheese! They’re then baked to perfection and ready to eat in just a few minutes.

Being as there’s just a few ingredients in these, there isn’t a whole lot to do to make them any more healthified outside of using a lightened up thousand island dressing. These would be great as part of a meal or as the main part of a meal. I served mine with a small side salad and called it done.

They’re perfect for these days leading up to St. Patricks Day too!
