Can you prep these potato skins ahead of time?
Yes indeed! You can bake, quarter and scoop out the flesh in advance then allow to cool and freeze. When ready, bake from frozen until heated through and add toppings.
What are the best potatoes for potato skins?
When choosing your potatoes, it’s best to choose smaller Russet potatoes. Smaller potatoes work well because they will be easier to serve as a handheld snack, plus they’ll hold their shape better than larger potatoes.
Other topping ideas
I’ve kept things classic with bacon, cheese and sour cream – it’s easy and delicious, but you can of course opt for other toppings, the sky’s the limit! You could go for shredded pork, chicken or taco beef. You can make things vegetarian by removing the bacon and adding more cheese.
