 These mini potato skins are fun and easy to make. Perfect for any gathering. Grab some little red potatoes and start stuffing. Everyone will love them and so will you!

Super Bowl is next week and I have been gathering up some recipes to make for the big game.

It’s just the four of us this year. I still wanted  to put out some new recipes along with the all time favorites that were served when we had a bunch of friends. If there’s leftovers my son Josh will  take care of that by the next day.

That’s what got me to thinking, there is already a recipe for Twice Baked Potato on my blog. I made those a bunch of times. It was time for another recipe that with potatoes in it.

 I wanted a more finger food, mini potato skins to put up. Well, here it is. With only 4 basic ingredients, you have a delicious and fun pick up, finger food the kids and adults will adore.

You’ll see below, the optional toppings such as sour cream, green onions or top with your pick of favorite toppings.

Anyway you top these they are going to be just right and a big hit with everyone.

Have fun at the big game and eat up! Check out some more fun appetizers below. They would all be great for the big game or anytime you want some delicious appetizers.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC INGREDIENTS THAT GO INTO MAKING THESE MINI POTATO SKINS?

Here are the four basic ingredients with a few toppings you may like…

HOW ARE THESE PREPARED AND IS THE AN EASY ONE?

You best these are easy and simple to prepare. Four steps to potato deliciousness…
