We are all camped out on the couch this afternoon, recovering from Jane’s birthday party and ready for relaxation and non-stop football watching. One of my favorite football snacks is a loaded potato skin — I’m always on board for potatoes topped with cheese and sour cream — but they can take awhile to make. I have been brainstorming some new recipes for my Super Bowl menu and this is my new shortcut for all of that loaded potato skin flavor in half the time.
I picked up frozen potato latkes and heated them up in the oven until they were warm and crispy (Trader Joe’s has great ones, and they make a cauliflower alternative too if you’re watching your diet ). Then I gathered all of the typical potato skin toppings: chopped bits of bacon, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and minced fresh scallions. I assembled the toppings on each latke and served them warm; they’re the perfect quick-fix replacement for twice-baked potatoes and have all of the same great flavor. Easy and delicious — just the kind of thing I want on my Sunday football menu!
