Pizza Pan Potato Skins Recipe

Inspired by a pub's secret menu item, these Pizza Pan Potato Skins are outrageously delicious! Forget everything you know about potato skins – we're deep-frying them for ultimate crispiness, then baking them in a pizza pan with gooey cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh green onions. Served sizzling hot with a dollop of sour cream, they're even better than fries! (Not a low-calorie option, but totally worth it!)

How to Make Pizza Pan Potato Skins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from bacon fat, drain on paper towels, and crumble.
  3. Peel 3 large russet potatoes, leaving a good amount of potato on the skin (about 1/4 inch).
  4. Scoop out the potato centers, reserving for another recipe or slicing into wedges to cook alongside the skins.
  5. Deep fry the potato skins in 350°F (175°C) oil until golden brown and crispy (about 3-5 minutes). Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Remove potato skins, drain thoroughly on paper towels, and season generously with salt.
  7. Arrange potato skins evenly in a large pizza pan.
  8. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and the crumbled bacon.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve immediately with sour cream for dipping.
