Potato skins are a snack food or appetizer made of unpeeled potato halves, hollowed and dressed with bacon, cheddar cheese and green onions. They are commonly found on the menus of casual dining restaurants such as T.G.I. Friday's, which is known for serving them.[1] While commonly eaten in restaurants, these snacks are also commonly made at home.

History

As an appetizer in restaurants, potato skins have been around since approximately the 1970s and documented making them as early as 1974. Many restaurants such as TGI Fridays, Prime Rib Restaurant and R.J. Grunts of Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises have claims to be a part of the pioneer list of the first restaurants to serve potato skins.[2]
