Cheesy Potato Skins are the perfect appetizer for any party! Potato Skins are a great way to kick off any meal and easy to prepare.
One night I decided to have an appetizer night with my boys. They were so excited to have appetizers for dinner! We made these delicious Cheesy Potato Skins, Skyline Dip and Warm Bean Dip.
One tip to make sure you potato skins taste like restaurant potato skins is to lightly grease the outside of potatoes. Then cut a small slit in the top and bake at 425 degrees for 45 minute or until soft. Let stand until the potatoes are cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the cooked potato, leaving a very thin layer of potato (save the cooked potato for mashed potatoes).
Brush the outside and inside with melted butter. Sprinkle the inside with seasoning salt and Parmesan cheese. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and cook for 7-8 minutes. Fill with cheddar cheese and bacon and then bake for 3 minutes more. Finally top with sour cream and chives and you have the perfect Cheesy Potato Skins!
