Crispy skin is the most delicious part of a potato. This recipe makes it ultra-crispy! The flesh is carefully scooped out of small baked potatoes, and the skins are deep-fried until crispy. The remaining mashed potatoes are used to make the filling: mix it with grated cheese, butter, sour cream, and green onions, and spoon into crispy potato skin bowls. The perfect appetizer for any occasion, always a hit!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the potatoes in an even layer on a microwave-safe plate, then microwave on high power until tender when pierced with a knife, turning each potato halfway through, 5-6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Cut each potato in half crosswise. Using a small spoon, scoop out all the flesh, leaving a thin skin. Transfer the scooped potatoes to a medium bowl, cover, and set aside.

  3. Meanwhile, pour 2 inches of canola oil into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven and attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with a couple of paper towels; set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix potato starch with 1/3 cup water until smooth. Dip the potato skins into the starch mixture, letting any excess drip back into the bowl, then carefully lower them into the hot oil. Fry a few at a time until crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch.
  5. Remove the skins from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt, then turn them cut-side down to drain.
  6. Add the butter to the reserved potatoes and microwave, stirring once, for about 3 minutes. Mash with a fork or potato masher until almost smooth, then add the sour cream, cheddar, green onions, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
  7. Spoon 1/4 teaspoon of the filling into each crispy potato skin. Place on a serving platter and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
