Answer 1

Hello:

The inside of a potato is sometimes called the,"meat,"of a potato even though the inside of a potato doesn't really have meat in it,that is just a term that people have used.

Answer 2

The answer that the cookbooks use is the "pulp" of the potato.

Potato Skins

Potato Skins is a dish made with Potato halves with cheese and sometimes bacon, green onions, and sour cream sprinkled on top.

Ingredients:
8 small baking potatoes
Vegetable oil
Garlic salt
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese
12 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided

Preparation:
Scrub potatoes and rub skins with oil. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are done. Allow potatoes to cool to touch. Cut top third off each potato; discard tops. Carefully scoop out pulp, leaving about 1/8 inch thick shells. (Reserve potato pulp for other uses.)

Fry potato skins in hot oil (375 degrees) for 3-4 minutes or until browned. Invert and drain on paper towels. Place potato skins, cut side up, on an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and Cheddar cheese. Broil 6 inches from heat for 30 seconds or until cheese melts. Top potato skins with bacon if using them and 1 tablespoon chives.

Press green chiles between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine chilies, sour cream and red pepper in a small bowl; stir well. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon chives. Serve with potato skins.

Yield: 8 servings.

Answer 3

I've always heard of the inside called the "pulp". An example would be when making twice baked potatoes. After baking, you cut off a top piece of the skin and scoop out the pulp...then continue with your recipe.
