    Take your boring old potato skins to the next level by adding chili for an awesome appetizer or even a meal!

    These Chili Potato Skins are a fun and easy spin on more traditional potato skins.  They're super easy to make, and oh-so-very delicious!  A huge-crowd please, they make for a great game day grub.  You can prep them ahead of time, and then pop them in the oven at the last minute!

    For the chili, I use one of these tried and true favorite recipes:

    • Sweet & Spicy Chili for a Crowd
    • Octoberfest Pumpkin Chili
    • Slow Cooker Chuck Wagon Chili
    • Crockpot Chicken Chili
    • Leftover Turkey Chili

    But, if you're in a big rush, you could always used store-bought canned chili, too.

    If you want to 'kick it up a notch,' you could add some crispy bacon to the top just after you melt the cheese.

    Serve these with a little sour cream on the side, and you've got a great appetizer!

    I love every single thing about these.  They're just so delicious - I can't wait for you to give them a try!

    Get Recipe Ingredients

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 450-degrees. Poke holes in the baked potatoes and rub with olive oil. Season with salt, then wrap in foil.
    • Bake for 1 hour - gently test the potato for doneness using a fork. If tender, remove, if not, continue baking, checking every 15 minutes.
    • Remove the potatoes and use an oven mitt and sharp knife to cut each potato in half. Allow to cool 15 minutes before scooping out some of the potato (leave a thin layer of potato in the skin).
    • Preheat the oven to 375-degrees. Fill each of the potato skins with ½ cup of chili and ¼ cup of cheese. Arrange the potato skins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
