Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man?

Where does Applebee’s get their potato skins?

I’ll give you instructions for making potato skins.

  1. Since you referenced food from Applebee’s, first you’re going to need to wean yourself off whatever drugs you’re on so you can tell the difference between food and what Applebee’s sells.

  2. wash and dry some potatoes.

  3. pierce the potatoes several times, all around the outside with a fork.

  4. bake the potatoes in a preheated 400° F. oven until you can easily insert your poking fork all the way to the center of the potato (probably about an hour, depending on the potatoes).

  5. take the potatoes out of the oven and let them cool down.

  6. slice each potato in half

  7. scoop out the insides of each potato, leaving about a quarter inch thickness for the skins. Last time I did this, I used a melon baller and deep-fried all the potato balls.

  8. deep fry the scooped out skins at about 375°. I prefer beef tallow for frying.

  9. when they are golden brown, take them out and set them aside to drain.

  10. cook bacon until crispy, then brake it up into small pieces.

  11. arrange all the fried potato skins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  12. season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

  13. fill each potato skin with shredded cheddar cheese, and sprinkle bacon pieces on top.

  14. bake in the oven at 350° until the cheese melts.

Serve with sour cream and chopped scallions.
