Don’t know how anyone can’t give this recipe 5 stars, unless you don’t like potato or potato skins. Every time I serve these, they all disappear with lots of compliments from my guests. I use olive oil in place of butter and lightly seasoned with salt and pepper before baking. Delicious and a crowd pleaser!
Shane Robinson
These are so tasty. Loved them!!
Amber Jones
Use red potatoes and this is the most delicious way to eat potatoes!!

Huge hit with the family. I changed just a bit , used a package of ranch dressing mix with some vegetable oil, dipped the potatoes in there first and then baked. Delicious

Of all the recipes I have tried on this site over the years, and loved, this is the first I am reviewing. These potatoes are great!! I love potato skins but hate the time and process to make them. I made sure there was plenty of space between the rounds so they would get crispy. While this is a great appetizer, we served it along with steak, sea salt and herb skillet rolls, and salad and it was a perfect dinner!!

taste awesome, great recipe

Everyone loved them!

This recipe was amazingly easy to make, particularly if you cook the bacon between two paper towels in the microwave- just be sure to keep cooking it until crispy. No muss, no fuss! The size of the potato slices was perfect, giving enough body that there was no chance of mush being present. I used sharp cheddar for one batch and mild cheddar for the next- just go by the tastes of whoever is eating it. I saw a sauce in the photo that appeared to be thousand island salad dressing… I put out a thinner version of the type I use and it was delicious as a sour cream substitute if you want some sweet with the savory. I put both this and sour cream out and they disappeared in the same amounts. This couldn’t be simpler and I highly recommend it- no more potato skins for us!

Everyone loved these! I sprayed the foil lined baking sheet with cooking spray, and added the butter. Didn’t stick at all. When I took the potatoes out of the oven and topped with the cheese, Bacon and green onions, the potatoes were hot enough to melt the cheese. I didn’t need to put them back in the oven. I did add some Granulated garlic to the potatoes before cooking. Will definitely make again!

These were SO delicious! I followed the advice of top reviewer, CCARR48. To make for one and not use the oven, put the butter and potato slices in pan. Fry for 5-7 min (I did about 7 min, turning slices halfway). Then put the cheese (I used a Mexican blend), green onions and bacon on top, cover the pan and cook for 2 min to melt the cheese. Of course, I had the sour cream with it! Comes together in hardly any time. This was my dinner, and I only had four of the rounds as it was filling. More for another time! The cheese that melts and cooks in the pan (the skirt) is so good! Thanks for the recipe! I’m glad there’s a way to make a small amount without turning on the oven, too!

OMG these are sooooo good! The only thing I did different was add some package bacon bits with the cooked bacon because I was short on bacon but it didn’t matter…. This is my new favorite! (Also great even if you reheat)
Alan Cochran
These were very good. Even better with a bit of sour cream!
Tyler Grant
soooo good! we loved it an will be making it more often. specially with summer coming… also with using butter i noticed the potatoes brown fast an look like they are burnt but its not the case if ur potatoes are thick. just reduce heat an or take out until ur ready to add cheese, bacon an green onions.

I have made this recipe twice for large groups. The plates are emptied very quickly. Very easy to make with loads of positive compliments.
Jessica Conner
I made this recipe as written. It was delicious – great with my air-fried cod.
Kathleen Miller
i loved these as did my partner. they were so soft. I used new potatoes and cut off both ends so they sat flat, after I’d brushed the butter on top I added garlic and herb seasoning and also some rosemary. As we both like our bacon crispy I put it straight on the potatoes and popped them in the oven for around 50 minutes. nothing burned and I was really pleased with how they turned out. I’ll definitely make this a regular recipe and use it if ever I’m hosting thank you!

I cooked the bacon in the oven on tin foil. Then, I replaced the step which says to cover the tin foil with butter and used the bacon grease I already had. The taste was just amazing !!!
Justin Meyer
Amazing!!! I will keep making these! Maybe a little less butter next time!
Jeffery Brown
I add creamy cheddar, it was awesome!! I’ll do it again for sure
Michael Stokes
Very tasty and easy to make. Mine just came out a little too soft. I’ll try again, but try it without using foil on the cookie sheet.
