Cheesy Bacon Potato Skins
After making this recipe I am pretty sure I will never order Potato Skins at a restaurant again.
Oh my goodness these are so easy and taste amazing!
It is really hard to order potato skins at a restaurant now that we have made them at home. They are so good.
These potato skins are perfect for parties or dinner. We like to enjoy them while relaxing at home and watching a movie.
The perfect handheld filling appetizer that tastes great and is a fun twist on our normal family dinner.

You could easily make these in the air fryer. When I created this recipe back in 2013 we didn't have an air fryer.

Ingredients
- 4 Potatoes cut in ¼'s

- Fill skins with the mixture
- Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes, until cheese is melted
