LOADED BAKED POTATO SKILLET DIP



Loaded Baked Potato Skillet Dip image

You know the velvety soft and rich creamy filling of a twice-baked potato? This dip is basically a skillet full of that, served with a side of thick-cut potato chips, so potato lovers be warned: You might need to reserve this recipe for parties, to avoid overindulging. (In case it's not clear, we are speaking from experience, this addictive dip was inspired by our endless appetite for spuds!). At a party though, this is just the thing, especially because you can whip it up 30 minutes before your guests arrive-thanks to quick-and-easy Betty Crocker™ roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The potatoes are made even more decadent by the addition of sour cream, cream cheese and butter. Not to mention the loaded baked potato-inspired toppings which include: bacon, green onions, cheddar cheese and some chopped parsley. With such a crowd-pleasing array of ingredients, we think this appetizer would be welcome on game day, at the church potluck and anywhere else you want to take it!

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large russet potatoes
1 c shredded cheese
1/4 c chopped bacon (i bake bacon in the oven and then chop it but you can use the commercial one also!)
salt and pepper
vegetable oil (i prefer and use olive oil)
chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425F
  • 2. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, slice potatoes into thin chips. Pat slices dry with a paper towel. In a large bowl toss potatoes with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil. Lay out in a single layer on a cookie sheet (may need 2 cookie sheets).
  • 3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Checking on them close to 10 minutes, don't let them burn. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack.
  • 4. In two single serve cast-iron skillets, (or 1 large one), begin with one layer of baked potato chips. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits. Add another layer of chips. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits.
  • 5. Add another layer of chips and sprinkle with the last layer of cheese and bacon bits. Place the cast-iron skillets into the 450F oven for about 5-6 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from oven. Careful, skillets will be very, very hot. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
