The weekend is rapidly approaching and people will start gathering at their local watering hole having cocktails and appetizers. My favorite pastime if you will.

One of those classic appetizers is this loaded potato skins recipe. How about all the cheesy goodness of them loaded into a skillet for dipping? I give you my Loaded Potato Skin Dip!

I gathered all the best parts of the loaded potato skins and mixed them all together for maximum scooping opportunities, only easier to put together.

Ingredients Needed

Potatoes – I like to use frozen chopped potatoes but you can also use leftover mashed potatoes.

Cream cheese – Bring to room temperature before mixing.

Sour cream – Full fat works best. Can substitute with Greek yogurt.

Green onions – Sliced, green parts only.

Bacon – Cook ahead of time and crumble.

Cheese – A mixture of sharp and mild cheddar cheese.

How to make Loaded Potato Skin Dip

First: Preheat oven to 350F. Cream together the cream cheese and sour cream.

Second: Add 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, green onion, bacon, shallot, and potatoes. Stir to combine.

Third: Scoop the mixture into a 10-inch skillet and spread out evenly. Top with 1 cup mild cheddar cheese.

Fourth: Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes or until the sides are bubbly and the cheese is melted and starting to turn a golden brown. Remove from the oven. Garnish with chopped chives.

Sitting on my couch while home-gating, I probably wouldn’t make this but heading to a party where there are more than 2 people I will definitely bring this and some chips.

I might have to keep it on the other side of the room but at least others will be eating it too:)
