Girl, let me tell you about the most incredible midnight snack that’s been my go-to whenever those late-night cravings hit! I’m talking about my famous Sweet and Salty Loaded Potato Skins with a twist that’ll make your taste buds dance at 2 AM. 🌙✨
Listen, we’ve all been there – tossing and turning in bed, stomach growling like a hungry bear. Instead of reaching for those boring chips, let me show you how to make something that’ll have your roommates or significant other sneaking into the kitchen to steal a bite!
What you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the prep):
– 4 medium russet potatoes
– 4 strips of bacon (because, duh!)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 3 tablespoons maple syrup
– A pinch of cayenne pepper
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: chives and sour cream for topping
Now, honey, here’s what you’re gonna do:
1. Wash those potatoes and prick them with a fork (take out that day’s frustration, we don’t judge here! 😉)
2. Microwave them for about 8-10 minutes until tender
3. While they’re cooking, crisp up that bacon until it’s perfect for crumbling
Are you still with me? Because this is where the magic happens! If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more mouth-watering recipes that’ll make your kitchen the place to be!
1. Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out some of the middle (leaving a little potato in there for structure)
2. Brush the skins with melted butter and sprinkle with salt
3. Pop them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until they’re crispy
4. Now, fill those babies with cheese, crumbled bacon, and drizzle with maple syrup
5. Add that pinch of cayenne for a little heat (because we’re not basic!)
6. Back under the broiler until the cheese is melty and bubbly
Top with chives and a dollop of sour cream, and honey, you’ve got yourself a snack that’s worthy of a chef’s kiss! 💋
The combination of sweet maple syrup with salty bacon and cheese is literally heaven on earth. Plus, the kick from the cayenne? _chef’s kiss_ It’s the kind of snack that’ll have you texting your besties at midnight saying “Girl, you NEED to try this!”
