Easy Loaded Potato Skins
These Easy Loaded Potato Skins combine all my favorite things: potatoes, bacon, and cheese. This recipe is easy enough to make for the weekend and fancy enough to bring into your party appetizer rotation. This version of winter comfort food is a little lighter using nonfat Greek yogurt and punchy Camembert instead of fatty Cheddar, but with all the creamy flavor you would expect. Plus, it’s a little healthier, as the potato skins are baked and not deep-fried.
While you can use any baking potatoes you have on hand for this dish, I prefer russets or Idaho baking potatoes because of their starchiness and fluffiness. Use the leftover cooked potatoes (it freezes well) from step 5 for these Classic Fish Cakes. You will love how wholesome and filling they are. You can assemble the potato skins ready to bake (step 9) up to 24 hours ahead, then cover and store in a fridge. Allow the loaded skins to come to room temperature before baking as in the recipe.
To make the Easy Loaded Potato Skins, you will need the following ingredients:
