I’m breaking away from my typical sugar-laden weekend recipe and sharing a savory one today instead, but don’t worry, there’s lots of cheese, and, AND, tatoes! So that’s okay, right? Everyone good with this?

You know what my favorite recipes are? I mean, not that I don’t completely love the recipes that are quick and easy (like this and this), or ones that are just downright fun to make (like THESE). I also love the ones that are a sure thing for making everyone who eats them extremely happy (there are tons I could mention here: these, these, and these for starters).

Nor am I saying that this recipe doesn’t fit any/all of these categories, that’s what’s awesome about it. It not only is fast, fun to make, and loved by all, but my favorite part about it is that it’s the kind of recipe that uses up random leftovers from the fridge at the same time, YES! Those are my faves.

I also really don’t like seeing perfectly good food go to waste and potato skins are one of those things that are so often overlooked and tossed out before they’re even given a chance. I want to run through the streets shouting about how they can be so amazing.

So hopefully you olive haters didn’t ditch me the moment you noticed some on these yummies. The olives are completely optional. Should I say it again? You don’t have to add them!!! What is not optional is the cheese. Sorry, but these simply have got to have it or they won’t be the same if you skimp.

Another awesome part of making potato skins is that you still have the potato filling for whatever use you want. I used the fillings from these particular potatoes for a cheesy potato bake but you could also mash them, make soup, or just eat them with some salt and butter.

There are tons of options for topping them also, but since I was using homemade enchilada sauce I knew they weren’t going to be lacking any flavor so I went simple with just cilantro and lime on these. Feel free to load ’em down with salsa, guac, sour cream, and anything else you want though.

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.
