Loaded Potato Skin Dip

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 loaded potato skins. 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.

Much like my Homemade Potato Skins and Frito Pie Dip, I want to inhale it!

Tapas Tips & Tricks

  • Use frozen diced potatoes or leftover mashed potatoes.
  • This skillet is perfect for making and serving.
  • Mix it up with Pepper Jack cheese.

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:)
