Must. Stop. Eating. Potato. Skins. - that thought actually went through my head after I took these photos of my Oven Baked Super Crispy Potato Skins!
I didn't eat ALL of them...just most of them.
I use baby coliban/chat/mini potatoes, and I bake them with a lightly spiced butter...mmmmmmmmm butter...
I also don't just use the skins, but also the fluffy insides - so you get a combination of crispy skins mixed with the crunchiest little pieces of baked potato you could ever wish for.
If you look really closely at the photo below, you can some little bubbles of the spiced butter - this shot was taken as soon as they came out of the oven.
Butter is a food group, right? Just like bacon, yeah!!! Not STRICTLY necessary, but life is boring without it...
I serve these with my version of homemade ranch dressing - you won't go back to bottled sauce again. Such a rich tasting sauce for only a few ingredients - I think you might find other things to pair it with!
