Ham & Cheese Potato Skins: A Tasty Kitchen Recipe

January 11, 2013

I don't know about you but sometimes a girl needs a good, salty snack. If you make it crispy and throw in some gooey, melty cheese...then you've got my attention!

I'm talking about potato skins folks. Is there any vegetable more versatile than the trusty ol' spud?

French fries, hash browns, mashed potatoes, smashed potatoes, baked, roasted, fried, grilled...okay, I think you get the idea. Potatoes are amaaaaaazing. There's just something so comforting about a potato dish, any way you make it, that makes a not-so-good day seem a little bit better.

These potato skins are really easy to make and they taste so good. They'd make a great snack for your next football party, or throw in some scrambled eggs, add a side salad, and you've got yourself one delicious brunch! The best part? It's a super kid-friendly recipe! My six year old gobbled these right up...with his usual (small-lake-sized) side of ketchup. That kid loves his ketchup.

This potato skin recipe is another super yummy find from Tasty Kitchen, shared by TK member Dax Phillips. Now, head on over to the Tasty Kitchen Blog to check out my full step-by-step post, and you can grab the recipe while you're at it. Then after you make these, you can thank me when your taste buds do a happy dance. Enjoy!
