How do I miss thee T.G. I. Friday’s
I live in Portland, OR and there are no T.G.I. Friday’s within 50 miles – it could easily be more miles but the search on their site limits you to only 50 miles
Regardless I cannot simply drive to one nor can I simply drive to a CVS ( that is a whole other rant)
My husband would always order the potato skins from T.G.I. Friday’s and I was determined to make a copy cat recipe
Let me just tell you now he ate EVERYTHING on that plate within 10 minutes of me taking this picture – and those puppies were still SUPER hot
My dad helped me with this recipe ( I did not know he was going to scoop so much out of each potato ) it still tasted great ( my husband is the source for that statement) it was just really hard to take a picture of the finished dish
Regardless – this recipe is very simple to make ( just the way I like it )
This recipe makes enough for 4 people to enjoy or one VERY hungry husband
I ended up using bacon bits for this recipe ( you can cook up your own bacon and crumble it) I went for the very easy route
The trick for this recipe is to bake the potatoes, slice the potatoes, scoop out the potatoes then place them back into the oven for 5 – 8 more minutes for the skin to firm up
I brushed melted butter on the skin as well because butter might be the best invention EVER
I really hope you make this recipe because I know you will love it – potatoes, cheese, and bacon – c’mon!
Love You Guys 🙂

I absolutely love TGIFs but we live so far away it’s nearly impossible to get potato skins. I never even thought about placing them back in the oven after scooping out.
