These Chili Potato Skins are a fun and easy spin on more traditional potato skins.  They’re super easy to make, and oh-so-very delicious!  A huge-crowd please, they make for a great game day grub.  You can prep them ahead of time, and then pop them in the oven at the last minute!

Perfect Game Day Chili Potato Skins via Juggling Act MamaFor the chili, I use one of these tried and true favorite recipes:

  • Sweet & Spicy Chili for a Crowd
  • Octoberfest Pumpkin Chili
  • Slow Cooker Chuck Wagon Chili

But, if you’re in a big rush, you could always used store-bought canned chili, too.

If you want to ‘kick it up a notch,’ you could add some crispy bacon to the top just after you melt the cheese.

Serve these with a little sour cream on the side, and you’ve got a great appetizer!

Ingredients

  • 6 large baking potatoes
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded white and yellow cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups chili
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450-degrees. Poke holes in the baked potatoes and rub with olive oil. Season with salt, then wrap in foil.
  • Bake for 1 hour - gently test the potato for doneness using a fork. If tender, remove, if not, continue baking, checking every 15 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes and use an oven mitt and sharp knife to cut each potato in half. Allow to cool 15 minutes before scooping out some of the potato (leave a thin layer of potato in the skin).
  • Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. Fill each of the potato skins with 1/2 cup of chili and 1/4 cup of cheese. Arrange the potato skins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

I love every single thing about these.  They’re just so delicious – I can’t wait for you to give them a try!

    Swinging by from Tater Tots and Jello Link Party…I LOVE this idea! I like to make a big batch of chili and use the leftovers over baked potatoes, but making potato skins is genius! Pinning this for later 🙂
