These skins were the break-out hit of our Super-Bowl Party.
Everyone loves the Loaded Potato skins at 0ur favorite restaurant,
I just never thought about making them at home.
I think the slight smoke flavor from the grilling makes these MUCH better!
There are two problems with the restaurant skins...
They are fried!
They are expensive!
These are SO much better and SO easy to make!
And... I'm gonna show you how.

ReplyDeleteI just had my lap band placed this past monday (06.18.2012). And I'm so excited about this recipe because potato skins are my fav and wanted to find a better way to make them to fit my healthy lifestyle. So excited about this one! Cannot wait to try this in a couple of days when I get to eat "regular" food. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteGives me another idea for my camping trip! Will prep and bake the potatoes at home, scoop out the potato flesh, brush melted butter, then cool and wrap, put into ice chest. At the campsite, will grill and melt the cheddar cheese and additional butter. Serve with sour cream and chives. I know it will be a big hit!
