  4. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes, until tender inside.

  3. When you’re ready to make them, Place frozen skin in a 400 F preheated oven and bake for 10-20 minutes or until the skins are cripsy and the cheese has melted.

Notes

  • I typically pick up a bag of russet potatoes for appetizers since they're much smaller than the a la carte bin-o-potatoes.
  • Love pickled peppers? Feel free to use pickled jalapeños in place of fresh if you prefer!
