Potato skins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Potato skins are a snack food or appetizer. They are made of small, flat circular or oval pieces of potatoes with skin on one side and a quarter-inch or so of fleshy potato on the other. The fleshy side is covered with toppings such as bacon, cheddar cheese, and anything else that might be found on a baked potato.

Potato skins are often thought of as being in the same category of foods as buffalo wings, jalapeño poppers, and mozzarella sticks. They are commonly found on the menus of casual dining restaurants such as T.G.I. Friday's.
