Give Me Some Skin! Potato Skin, that is!

Potato Skins with all the Fixin's is the A-#1 favorite recipe in this book, so far. My whole family loved these and asked for them the next week. What did I learn from this? Melt cheese on a starch and people love it!

This recipe takes some early prep. Bake your potatoes the day before to cut down on dinner time. Save some energy and cook them in the hot oven that you are using for pizza or a casserole.

The SBs tell you to cut the potatoes into quarters, so I did. But, I also left some potato skins in halves, and this way they held more filling and cooked without dripping onto the pans. Bigger potato means longer cooking time, but that's okay. It takes awhile for the soy cheese to melt, so it works out.

These were sooooo gooood! Major comfort food! Perfect PMS food! THE food for a Friday night when you really want a beer and a Netflix. This would be a great addition to a Super Bowl party. So, feel free to invite us and I'll bring these!

Taste Test: Filling and full of flavor! Go buy the stuff and make them now!

Penny Pinching: Not too expensive. Potatoes are cheap. The cheese will set you back about $5.00. You use 1/2 of each package of cheese, so to be smart and not waste, you could choose one type and use the whole package. (Do it, if you don't use the other half, it will go bad in a week.)

Options: I'll let you know, but I think adding broccoli florets to these would be a good choice. It would add color and veggies. Try it, you'll like it!
