Top a mashed potato dip with crispy bacon, garlic, Cheddar and scallions, and then scoop it up with potato chips and vegetables.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 strips bacon
8 cloves garlic, smashed
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
3 to 4 Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Potato chips, red bell pepper strips and celery sticks, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet set over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Add the garlic and 2/3 cup of the oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and slice the potato skins into very thin strips (the thinner you cut the strips, the crispier they will be). Toss the strips with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake, stirring once, until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut the peeled potatoes into 1-inch chunks and put in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by about 2 inches and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a medium bowl or mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Pour the oil and garlic mixture into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the potatoes, vinegar, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and pulse until just creamy and combined; do not overprocess or the potatoes will become gluey. Add up to 3 tablespoons more water if necessary so that the dip is soft and spreadable. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with the sour cream. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the dip. Top with the Cheddar, crispy potato skins and scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature with potato chips, red bell pepper strips and celery sticks.

A fast and easy take on the classic stuffed twice-baked potato. Pairs well with a juicy, fruit-forward red wine blend.

Provided by 14 Hands Winery

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Twice Baked Potato Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 russet potatoes
12 strips bacon
1 pound broccoli florets
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups grated Cheddar cheese
8 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce each potato with a paring knife and roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour, depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, dice up the bacon. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, about 7 minutes. Drain the bacon fat and reserve.
  • Return the saute pan to the heat and add the reserved bacon fat. Cook the broccoli and red pepper for 2 minutes. Add the water and allow to cook until water has evaporated. Remove from heat.
  • When potatoes are done cooking, remove and allow to cool until you can handle them. Cut them in half and with a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving about 1/4 inch border on the skins.
  • Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl and mix with half the bacon, broccoli, red pepper, sour cream, salt, pepper, and half the Cheddar. Divide this filling back among the potato skins.
  • Return the stuffed potatoes to the 400-degree oven and bake until heated through, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and top with remaining bacon, Cheddar, and green onions.

LOADED POTATO SKIN DIP



Loaded Potato Skin Dip image

Inspired by the traditional Greek potato-and-garlic dip skordalia, this dip is loaded up with the best potato skin toppings: sour cream, scallions and crispy potato skins and bacon.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 strips bacon
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
8 cloves garlic, smashed
3 to 4 Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sour cream
Potato chips, for dipping
Assorted vegetables such as bell pepper strips and celery sticks, for dipping

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet set over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Add 2/3 cup of the oil and the garlic to the skillet with the bacon drippings. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Peel the potatoes and slice the potato skins into very thin strips (the thinner your cut the strips the crispier they will be). Toss the strips with 1/4 teaspoon salt, some pepper and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Spread in an even layer and bake on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet, stirring once, until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut the peeled potatoes into 1-inch chunks and put in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by about 2 inches and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a medium bowl or mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Pour the oil and garlic mixture into the bowl of a food processor and puree. Add the potatoes, vinegar, 1/3 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste and pulse until just creamy and combined; do not over process or the potatoes will become gluey. Add up to 3 tablespoons more water if necessary so that the dip is soft and spreadable. Season with additional salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the dip to a shallow serving bowl. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the dip along with the crispy potato skins and scallions. Top with sour cream and serve warm or at room temperature with potato chips and cut up vegetables for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. Russet potatoes are the most common type of potato used for baked potato dishes, but you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Each type of potato has a slightly different flavor and texture, so experiment to find your favorite.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and not hold their shape well. Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm.
  • Load up on the toppings. The best part of a loaded baked potato is all the toppings! Choose your favorites from a variety of options, such as cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, and butter.
  • Use a cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet is the best way to cook a loaded baked potato skillet dip. It distributes heat evenly and creates a crispy crust on the potatoes.
  • Serve immediately. Loaded baked potato skillet dip is best served immediately, while it's still hot and bubbly. Top with additional toppings, such as chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream, before serving.

Conclusion:

Loaded baked potato skillet dip is a delicious and easy party appetizer or snack. It's perfect for game day, potlucks, or any other casual gathering. With its creamy, cheesy, and flavorful filling, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying dish to serve, give loaded baked potato skillet dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
