Loaded Potato Skins {Recipe} from Dana at This Silly Girl’s Life

by

Hi everyone, this is Dana from This Silly Girl’s Life and co-host with Molly of the Lovely Ladies link party. Thanks so much to Molly for letting me share with you today! I have this very simple recipe for you all that will knock your socks off! Loaded potato skins, OH YEAH! Whenever Jeremy (the Hubs) and I go out to dinner we often get an appetizer and there is always cheese on it. Cheese is our favorite. We normally get cheese fries or potato skins so I wanted to make our favorite treat at home one night. And wow, they were amazing!

Ingredients

3 each Baking Potatoes

 2 Tbls Butter, melted

 4 each Bacon Strips

 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

 1/2 Cup Sour Cream

 1 each Green onion, for garnish

 Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions
These are so easy I made a little diagram for ya to show the steps!
1. Bake off your potatoes. These medium sized potatoes took 1 hours at 400 degrees. Make sure to scrub them real good under running water first to get all the dirt off them. Yuckie.
2. Cut in half and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Save the insides for something else like mashed potatoes or potato cakes!
3. Cut them into 4th’s and brush with melted butter and season with salt and pepper to your taste.
4. Cut the bacon into 1/2 strips and fry until crispy.
5. Place the skins in an oven safe dish and top with the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is just melted. Top with the sour cream then the bacon. Add the green onions finely sliced for garnish if you prefer!

See how easy that was?! WOW and YUMMMM! I hope you enjoyed this recipe! Please come and join me over at my blog This Silly Girl’s Life! I update daily with recipes, crafts, fashion, you know… all things creative! See you there 🙂
