The first thing you need to do is bake the potatoes. I used my air fryer but oven is fine as well. Make sure to take them out a few minutes before they’re actually cooked. Bear in mind that you’ll cook them again, once you fill them with the good stuff.

I’d use spicy chorizo if ti wasn’t for the kids. I think it gives so much flavour and a nice kick to the dishes. As for the quail eggs, if they’re not available, substitute with a chicken egg, it’s absolutely fine.

Mozzarella cheese would work fine, as well as Cheddar.

These Potato Skins are best served hot, melted cheese and crispy chorizo, you know, but you can store them for a couple of days and reheat, if needed.

It’s really important how you’ll serve them – add some sliced avocado, hot sauce/salsa,may be fresh lime and sour cream.
