Other toppings for potato skin appetizer recipe.

There are other unique options to add to the top of these potato skins. Check out these options and try them when you make this recipe.

  • Greek Yogurt - plain Greek yogurt is a nice alternative to plain sour cream.
  • Cooked Pulled Pork - If you have some leftover pulled pork, you can add a little to the top of the potatoes for some extra protein.
  • Thin beef steak - Thin steak like the one you would use for a Philly Cheesesteak would be a great protein option.
  • Chili - Cooked chili works nicely on top too.
  • Fresh avocado - Slice up some avocado and add to the top for a delicious and refreshing dish.

I hope this list gives you some suggestions for some additional toppings.

    I love potato skins, but I've only ever had them at a restaurant. They would definitely be a lot cheaper to make at home, but we never buy bacon, for health reasons. I wonder if they'd be boring without it?

      To replace the bacon, you can add turkey bacon, vegan bacon, or just some cooked seasoned spinach on top to give it flavor.

    Potatoes skins always remind me of TGIFridays restaurant. Nice that it's so easy to do at home too
