With only a handful of ingredients and some planning ahead, you’ll have these T.G.I.Friday’s Potato Skins done in no time. We used shredded cheese and bacon for toppings, but you could add several more if you like.
You can bake the potatoes several hours ahead of time since you need to let them cool anyway.
