Nested Potato Skins

Guinea Pig: Jennifer

THE CLAIM
Melissa's Southern Style Kitchen recently featured this idea for a fun twist on hash browns/potato skins.  Click the link in the photo caption for photo source and recipe.

THE TEST
Guinea Pig Jennifer gave this a try, and declares it a resounding hit!  Whether served as a snack or an appetizer, these are sure to please! Jennifer says, "[The recipe] was very easy to follow, the ingredients were simple and inexpensive, and they turned out fantastic and everybody loved them."   They are firm enough that they can be eaten as a finger food. 

Jennifer used frozen hash browns (fully thawed) and says they were dry enough that she didn't need to drain or dry them.

Two tips, straight out of Jennifer's Kitchen: 

  1. Use a touch more Pam (or other cooking spray) on the bottom of the tins than you think may be necessary.  These tend to stick a little bit, and more oil might help. 
  2. Jennifer used some of the leftover batter to make miniature versions of these in her mini muffin tin.  The result? She likes them better, and says they were easier to pop out of the tin.  

CONCLUSION
A great snack for your next barbecue, picnic or Game Day.
