Spinach Artichoke Potato Skin Ingredients
These delicious potato skins only take five ingredients, and they are ones I almost always have on hand!
Red Potatoes: I like to use red potatoes when I am serving these at a party for an easy personal size appetizer, but russet potatoes work great too.
Cream Cheese: I like using full fat, but reduced-fat works just the same.
Frozen Spinach: Do not forget to defrost the spinach and squeeze out extra water.
Artichoke Hearts: I used canned ones, drained them, and roughly chopped up.
Mozzarella Cheese: If you have a cheese you prefer over mozzarella, feel free to use it and let me know in the comments what you picked!
How to Make Stuffed Potato Skins
Stuffed potato skins seem a little fancy and time consuming, but they are one of the most carefree sides to make and one of my favorites! To make these spinach and artichoke potato skins, you will cook your potatoes in the oven until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Once they have cooked and cooled, slice the potatoes lengthwise and begin scooping out the inside of the potato while leaving the skin intact.
While your potatoes are cooking, you can prepare the stuffing. Thaw your frozen spinach and squeeze out all excess water, drain your artichokes and roughly chop them up too. Once you have prepared your produce, you can begin to combine your cream cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, and mozzarella cheese.
Before you fill your potato skins with your prepared mixture, you will pop them back in the oven one more time, open side down, to get the skins extra crispy. After the skins have crisped up, fill your potato skins with the mixture and pop them back in the oven until they are warm all the way through.
