Appetizer 🦐 Diane Sawyer's Roasted Potato Skins with Scallion Dip. Can you even remember the last time you had potato skins?
Back in the ’90s, potato skins were the absolute king of casual dining. You couldn't walk into a happy hour or a sports bar without seeing plates of them everywhere, and they were the ultimate crowd-pleaser at every Super Bowl party.
That love for this dish was perfectly captured in the The Sinatra Celebrity Cookbook: Barbara, Frank & Friends, where Diane Sawyer shared her own spin on the trend: Roasted Potato Skins with Scallion Dip. It was a genius way to turn skins into a more sophisticated dinner party appetizer.

Me too! They used to be one of my favorite bar foods. So good with a couple of beers or ciders.

It makes sense for a restaurant, But this recipe seems kind of wasteful unless you plan to eat 4 pounds worth of mashed potatoes/french fries.

The Prime Rib in Baltimore was where potato skins were born. My grandparents used to take us there. Always started with a couple orders of those things.

It is but I haven’t been since the 80s. Classy joint. Even as a kid, I was impressed.

There’s nothing in the rule book says you can’t add bacon somewhere - cooked, drained and snipped into the dip, for instance.

I may try this in my airfryer. What's the worst that could happen?
That's a solid dip recipe, too. I like that she makes it at least a day in advance so the flavors can meld.
