Guacamole Stuffed Potato Skins
The Super Bowl is fast approaching and that means appetizers, dips, and finger foods will be making it onto a lot of people’s game day tables. These Guacamole Stuffed Potato Skins are making an appearance at our festivities. The reality is that if the Packers aren’t playing in the Super Bowl, then I am strictly there for the food and commercials. I recently had a new found love for potato skins. I remember eating them from time to time in college at the bar when we were watching football but then they totally went off of my radar. My sister inspired today’s recipe after a conversation we had over the holidays about what she was making at her upcoming New Years Eve party. She mentioned potato skins were on her list as an appetizer to make for her guests and I knew I had to make them for the Super Bowl. I forget how much I love stuffing delicious things like guacamole and salsa inside little, crispy potatoes.
They are the perfect canvas for all of my favorite things..salsa, guacamole, cheese and a dollop of Greek yogurt. I used Sabra’s Medium Salsa , Classic Guacamole and the Farmer’s Ranch Greek Yogurt Dip but you could easily use a variety of their products in today’s recipe. For example they have a great Spicy Guacamole that would be killer on these Guacamole Stuffed Potato Skins. Sabra also has a nice line of salsas including a Restaurant Style that I love and a Chunky Pico de Gallo that would be nice. To lighten these beauties up I went with the Farmer’s Ranch Greek Yogurt Dip instead of sour cream. I love their Greek Yogurt Dips for so many reasons but especially for dipping fresh veggies in and spreading on sandwiches.
Guacamole Stuffed Potato Skins take a bit of time to make because the potatoes need to bake in the oven to get soft and then you have to bake them again to crisp the skins. But that gives you time to make the rest of your food while they are cooking away.
What I love about these Guacamole Stuffed Potato Skins is the crispy skins, the soft center and then of course all of the delicious things stuffed inside. I mean guacamole stuffed in anything is heavenly in my opinion. You can also easily modify these potato skins:
- Try using a different cheese like pepper jack.
- Mix up the garnishes with things like freshly chopped cilantro and diced tomatoes.
- Add a small handful of black beans to each potato skin for a boost of protein.

I love potato skins:) When I worked in a restaurant I always laughed when the cooks called them jacket potatoes... I can imagine eating these mini jacket potatoes filled with yummy and healthy guacamole! Great idea! This has Superbowl party written all over it.
