These are great! Since I first made them they were such a hit I now make them for my family all the time. I tinker with the meat some, and use shredded cheese. And I agree, they are filling. I like to make thim on days I'm poking around the kitchen and make them in stages.

    HHmmmm...We liked it, just didn't love it. We found that the taste was somewhat lacking. We followed the recipe exactly, I just don't know what was missing. Aroostook is right, these are great for filling you up! Maybe some garlic next time. thanks for posting!

    We had these for supper the other night. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe how they tasted. I used chorizo sausage and shredded nacho cheese mix. The topping had a spicy flavor and was very easy to make. We all LOVED them. Thanks Sue L for another outstanding recipe. Love ya

    Sue, Potato Skins? Ha...One of these potatoes are a meal in itself...=) Very good and very filling. Used garlic and cheese Italian sausage and it was excellent!! I bet these would freeze well for a quick make ahead meal. Can't this time. There weren't any leftovers! Thanks for posting. Barb
