Game-Day Potato Skins (Dairy-Free)

Dairy-Free • Gluten-Free • Bacon Optional • Crowd-Pleasing Comfort

These potato skins are everything: crispy edges, creamy centers, and that salty, snackable vibe that makes them perfect for game day or cozy nights in. With dairy-free butter and cheese, they’re allergy-friendly without sacrificing flavor. Add green onions and safe bacon bits if you like—or keep it simple and satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 medium russet potatoes

  • Dairy-free butter (Country Crock Plant is a favorite)

  • Dairy-free shredded cheese (Daiya is a facvorite)

  • Kosher salt

  • Green onions, sliced (optional)

  • Allergy-safe bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bake the potatoes Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub potatoes, prick with a fork, and bake directly on the rack for 45–60 minutes, until tender.

  2. Scoop & mash Let potatoes cool slightly. Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer for structure. Mash the scooped potato with dairy-free butter, cheese, and a pinch of salt.

  3. Refill & broil Spoon mash back into the potato skins. Place on a baking sheet and broil on high for 3–5 minutes, until tops are golden and edges crisp.

  4. Top & serve Sprinkle with green onions and bacon bits if using. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Swaps

  • For crispier skins, brush the outsides with oil and broil for an extra minute.

  • Great as a side dish, snack, or party platter.

  • You can prep the mash ahead and broil just before serving.

  • Want a little heat? Add a dash of cayenne or drizzle with allergy-safe hot sauce.
