Ok, so I had some leftover tiny baked potatoes that worked wonderfully. I didn’t have any bacon or salad dressing. I used butter instead and with sour cream and some salt & pepper they taste just like potato skins! I will always make extra baked potatoes now!

I tried it with the sour cream and YUMMM! The first time I used an Italian cheese blend over the top, the second time I used cheddar. I liked the Italian better. Ranch dressing is quite tasty over the top, and spicy ranch dressing is even better! AmyLs last blog post..3 Things To Help Kids Get Along

I love the name! It’s looks awesome and I do like the sour cream idea too. Actually how about some extra, extra cheese too? and chives? Put it all on!
I could eat fried potatoes and cheese all day long, for the rest of my life.

*AmyL – What a fantastic idea!! I would think just a touch of sour cream would do the trick to make these hold together just right. I’ll be trying that VERY soon. I’m glad you enjoyed these.

YUMMMMMMM!!! I couldn’t resist making these right away. I made the mistake of using a potato masher at first to flatten the ‘taters, and it was difficult to keep those together in the pan. For my second batch I followed directions more carefully and they were much easier to handle.

The thing is, the more mashed ones had better flavor, like they absorbed the dressing more completely. What do you think about mashing the potatoes up and then following the recipe from there? Would a binder be needed to help them hold together somehow? What do you think?
