Hey everyone, hope you’re having an incredible day today. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, potato skins. It is one of my favorites food recipes. This time, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.
Potato skins, also sometimes referred to as potato jackets, are a snack food or appetizer made of unpeeled potato halves, hollowed and dressed with bacon, cheddar cheese and green onions before being baked again. These potato skins easy to make. Some approaches call for deep frying, but I don't think it is really necessary. You just want to bake the skins at a high enough heat so that they get crispy enough to hold the toppings.
Potato Skins is one of the most favored of current trending foods on earth. It’s appreciated by millions every day. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. Potato Skins is something that I’ve loved my whole life. They’re fine and they look fantastic.
To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook potato skins using 6 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Tell me, do you eat stuffed potato skins with your hands or a knife and fork? Potato skins have always been a favorite of ours but this was the first time I ever made them at home. This is a great recipe as written but I played with it just a little and was CRAZY happy with the result. Anyway, potato skins are a nostalgic snack for me.
Steps to make Potato Skins:
- Take whatever potatoes you want to use and wash them up, (Will be cutting potatoes in half so one potato will make two potato skins)
- Poke potatoes with a fork, and bake the potatoes until done…
- Cut potatoes in half, let cool off, until you can touch them without burning yourself…(notice my fork marks I made, is also where I will be cutting them in half at.)
- Scoop out the middle of the potatoes, make sure you leave some on the edges and don’t go all the way down to the skin.
- Freeze all potatoes must be frozen before frying them.(make sure none of them are touching)
- When ready to cook pre heat oil and you will be baking these in the oven on boil for a few mins so if you want to pre heat the oven too… (if you don’t like using the boiler can set on 350 bake until cheese is melted)
- Fry all the potatoes skins, till golden brown, or as crunchy as you like, may need to flip them over in the oil and move them around, don’t overcrowd the pot, cook in batches, drain off oil when removing from oil and place on paper towels/ coffee filters or wire rack (make sure when place the skins side is facing up, does no good it’s sitting on the skin like a boat to holding the oil)
- After all potatoes are fried to your liking, add the cheese, place them on a cookie sheet, bake or boil in oven until cheese has melted
- Latest step, top skins with sour cream, cooked bacon crumbs/ bacon bits, and green onion/ chives top with some more cheese…
- Notes- Do whatever with the potatoes after scooping them out, don’t waste it.. I topped it with butter 🧈 salt pepper, and sour cream, for my kids, I have one that doesn’t do sour cream… kids are always wanting to eat lol. I have even made a small amount of mashed potatoes, for when I made these ahead of time and I use the mashed potatoes for dinner that night… it’s a win win and no waste.
This is a great recipe as written but I played with it just a little and was CRAZY happy with the result. Anyway, potato skins are a nostalgic snack for me. And nostalgic snacks, I think I've established, are the very best kind of snacks. And they never, ever go out of style. Unless you're talking about deviled ham balls.
