Loaded Cheesy Potato Skins
Loaded Cheesy Potato Skins are a favorite staple for the Super Bowl, or just about any casual family gathering, and it’s an appetizer my husband looks forward to more than the actual game! They are a like a salted potato boat filled with crisp bacon and melted gooey cheddar and are so good dipped in sour cream or our homemade ranch dressing. They’re really easy to make, and you only need four ingredients! This recipe is one of our favorite Super Bowl Recipes. Be sure to check out our full list of recipes for the big game. You’ll find all kinds of saucy meats, savory appetizers, sweet treats, and delicious dips. Everything you could possibly need to host the Super Bowl (or any tailgate/sports watching party)!

Tips for Loaded Cheesy Potato Skins
This recipe does not have exact measurements because you can do as much or as little as you like of these. If I fill up a cookie sheet sized pan with these, I usually use a dozen Russet potatoes, a package of bacon, and a pound of shredded cheddar cheese.Just a tip on the cheese, it tastes a lot better if you get a block of cheese and shred it yourself as opposed to getting the pre-shredded cheese. The pre-shredded cheese is floured to keep from sticking with sometimes can really take away from the flavor.I’m not getting paid to say this, but I honestly prefer Tillamook cheese to every other brand I have tried. It’s creamier and better tasting, and they let their cheese age naturally instead of genetically trying to make it age faster, and you can really taste the difference. You can cook up your own bacon, or buy it pre-cooked and crumbled in the grocery store, but steer clear of those tough bacon bits.
