Jalapeno Popper Potato Skins

January 31, 2022 Amanda Plott

Potato skins are just a lot of fun to make and eat. They’re kind of the perfect vehicle to get almost anything savory into your mouth by way of finger food - which makes them absolutely perfect for game day and tailgating! I decided to take these potato skins a step further, making them into a mix of two of my favorite football food snacks; potato skins and jalapeño poppers.

That’s right, these potato skins are loaded with jalapeño, cream cheese, bacon, and cheddar too. They’re the best of both tasty treats all put into one perfectly baked bite of cheesy goodness. I don’t know about you, but I like to use the biggest potatoes that I can find…

Pizza Bite Eyeballs

October 28, 2016 Amanda Plott

Muahahaha! I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday and it has been for almost all of my life. I think I enjoy it so much because there's a lot of excitement in the air. Especially when you have little ones! It's the start of the holiday season and everyone is ripe with anticipation for now. Plus, Halloween is generally the beginning of our cooler weather here in Texas. We're already down into the 80's on most days! Whohoo.

I've been working on some fun Halloween inspired bites this week and I think these Pizza Bite Eyeballs are a big winner! They are so easy to do and fun. Not scary. I even managed to get my 6 year old on board with them. After my 'scary' black Halloween spaghetti from last year, I thought I'd lost her on Trick-or-Treat eats, but these managed to get the seal of approval...

My dad is the grill master of the family and has been for many years now. One thing that has become a staple item anytime my family gets together to grill (no matter the occasion) is jalapeño poppers!

My family has always done poppers a little differently. Originally, we tried to stuff the jalapeños with a cream cheese and cheddar mixture and then wrapped them with bacon, but... the bacon never cooked through evenly. So, one day we got smart, chopped cooked bacon up and mixed it in with the cream cheese mixture to stuff in the jalapeños that way. We've never breaded our poppers in anyway. My dad always felt that the breading was unneeded, and I must say that I agree. It's just wasted calories.

These jalapeño poppers are our standard way of making poppers, but with one grilling twist this time around, making them perfectly vegetarian! Because after all, meatless can still be delicious....

Game day food is so important in my family, it's always been a big part of our traditions. In fact, cooking on game day was so important that when I was younger we even had a television set up on top of the fridge so that those preparing food could multi-task and watch the game at the same time!

One of the most famous game day eats in our house has always been jalapeño poppers. My dad makes some of the best, next to my own of course. Hah! But, I'm also a big BIG fan of dips and spreads! So, today I've decided to combine the two into one amazing lighter version of a jalapeño popper dip...

Jalapeño Popper Potato Skins

March 15, 2013 Amanda Plott

Jalapeño poppers are a weak point for me. It's hard for me to believe that there was once a point in my life where I wouldn't eat a jalapeño if my very life had depended upon it.

Clearly things have changed...
