This is the easiest way to potato skin heaven! I did not shred the cheese but just laid a thin slice on each skin.

    My family loves potato skins, so I surprised them w/these. They thought they were great and would have them again.

    My kids loved these. Made them for the Super Bowl, there were none left. I used the insides to make gnocchis which were delicious. This will be my go to recipe for potato skins from now on. Much cheaper than buying a box at the store. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Oh, these are just sinful! Made as part of "Appetizer Night", to say they went over well is an understatement. There are only four of us, I used LARGE baking potatoes, and there were 3 other "appetizers". There were none of these left by the time the hungry horde hit. Recipe was made as directed, using Penzey's 4 Seasons Salt. I won't be changing anything about this in the future, and will probably even use them as a side dish to some baked chicken. Yummy!
