Delicious and Easy Loaded Potato Skin Fries That Are Awesome For Football Parties!

Hi everyone!  I am so excited to be writing a cooking blog today! If you have been following us, you know my family has been going through the everlasting kitchen renovation project. I turned a guest room into a makeshift kitchen with a pantry, refrigerator/freezer, coffee station, microwave, toaster, and even an air fryer. It has served us well, however I am officially over not having a stove or oven. It has definitely placed a damper on my day dreams of being a Food Network star!  Well, we are at the final stages of the kitchen and we officially have a working oven and stovetop, so I can cook again. I could not be more excited. With football season here and the holidays approaching, I am going to give everyone an easy and delicious party food appetizer…Loaded Baked Potato Skin Fries!  This is a great recipe for football games. So let’s get started!

Football Party Recipe: Easy Loaded Baked Potato Skin Fries

Ingredients:

• 3 russet potatoes
• 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup of cream cheese
• 1/2 cup of bacon bits
• Salt
• Pepper
• Seasoned Salt

What To Do:

• Cut the potatoes in 4 wedges.
• Cut out most of the inner part of the potato leaving the skin in tact.
• Place the potatoes in the microwave uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Remove and brush both sides with olive oil salt and pepper.
• Mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and seasoned salt together (NOTE- you can really mix any of your favorite loaded baked potato ingredients in this recipe, ie. sour cream, different cheeses, pancetta, and different spices).  Have fun with it!
• Spread the mixture on top of each potato wedge.
• Sprinkle bacon and chives on top.
• Place in oven on broil for 5 minutes.
• Serve with ranch dipping sauce (other dipping sauces that are great are ketchup, sour cream, or hot sauce).

I am telling you this recipe is AMAZING and everyone will love this one at your party. Trust me! The loaded baked potato skins will be a hit! Happy cooking everyone!

MY TOP TIPS ON HOSTING FOOTBALL PARTIES:

• Pick 6 to 8 recipes depending upon the amount of guests coming to the party.
• Serve half of the food during the first half of the game, and the second half of the food after halftime.
• I love serving appetizer recipes but try and make one that is more like a meal (i.e. sliders, chili, or fun flatbreads).l
• The mini crock pot is AWESOME for serving warm dips and keeping them nice and hot!
