Don't really see the tater skin on many menus anymore. It's a shame too because it's not really something you see made at home much.

Here's my personal appetizer Mount Rushmore:

1) Spinach & artichoke dip
2) Mozzarella sticks
3) Queso dip
4) Nachos (strong preference here for individual, not piled)

One of my favorite foods, and I feel like I haven’t even had good ones. I’m here for recs. My journey was TGI Fridays restaurant > Harry Ts > TGI Fridays microwaveable > none that I can remember in the last ten years

 

[jethreauxdawg]

TGI Fridays is the only one I can think of.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

There was a place in Memphis I’ve been to that has really good ones and now I can’t remember where it is.

 

[PK Dawg]

It’s a crying shame fine steak houses don’t participate in this common-man delicacy. They have everything needed to make elite skins.

Not loaded potato skins…
But in 1980 after a KISS concert in Mempho. ..at the local chevron in olive branch, the JOJOS and ketchup and 1 chicken breast was a 17ing savior

When i worked at Flo and Eddie’s, we had some damn good ones.

Any of the Harvey’s restaurants will cook them for you if you ask your server; they’re just not listed on the menu but I don’t know why. They are quite good. I’ve had them lots of times.

Go back to 1996, find a Max &Erma's restaurant, and enjoy.

The cocaine was the best thing on the menu there. Met my first real girlfriend there. She would later work there. She told me that the kitchen manager hated her. Nope, she was fired because she pulled a chef's knife on somebody else and chased them through the kitchen.

I can't help, I've never had one. They always looked like somebody sliced off 4 flat sides of a tater and overcooked the heLL out of 'em and tried to make 'em edible by piling wet condiments on top

Here you fools go again... You can't even call them potato skins if they ordered south of the Snake River plains. I mean do you people even have a Potato Commission? If not, you can ogle at the majesty of ours...

You want the best... Hold onto your jock strap boys. Just think about it... My local mexican joint does potato skin nachos. Slap your abuelita and tell her to get back in the 17ing kitchen and make you some of these:

Not as good as Buccee’s potato skins***

Me and the dudes drove up from Tupelo for that concert. Loud as hell.

Only correct if you are talking about taking a helicopter to fly 2,000 miles to get up north of the Snake and get you some good taters.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

There was a place in Memphis I’ve been to that has really good ones and now I can’t remember where it is.

There's a Memphis, Idaho? Cool. Have to check it out.

You really need to cross that state line more often... The hotels serve potato skins in lieu of Ottis Spunkmeyer Cookies at reception in Idaho.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

Take a few days off the board and you try to sneak in a potato thread on me... I have alerts set fools... And just for @stateu1... If IMPP isn't back by Wednesday, I'll do an NSFW top 10 tater thread.

Especially the ones with brisket on them.

I saw them in Memphis is either 86 or 87 at the msc. This was post make up. May have been the animalize tour. I still have the concert shirt, albeit two or three sizes smaller than I wear now. Those days are still kinda blurry for me.

Well being that I’ve never been to Idaho I can’t really name a place with good tater skins from there.

 

[mcdawg22]

It’s a day’s drive, but here you go.

Then you haven't had any good ones now have you...

***We must all remember, you can't have a great version of any food if you don't go to exactly where it originates from. SPS tells us this in every food thread.... Or maybe there are a bunch of knuckle dragging dimwits on the board, not sure.***

If you are near Memphis, Heuy's.

First Mcallister's Deli Loaded Baked Potato I had, I thought there really was a heaven on earth. Still like them a lot. Probably too much potato for the skins fans

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Twice baked potatoes, done right, are amazing as well. It's truly one versatile tuber.

This is so true.
Every 2 weeks there is a post about a Mexican restaurant on Nextdoor. Inevitably someone posts “I’m from Texas so I know what real Tex Mex is….” I just started looking at Mexican reviews out of curiosity and sure enough within 10 reviews someone says this.
Mexican Americans are in every corner of the country with access to beef, chicken, pork, masa, flour, corn, cheese, peppers, and spices. Is there a force field that does not allow true Tex Mex recipes to escape the state?

 

[dorndawg]

What do they do with the baked tater they scoop out to make tater skins? Maybe make tater salad? That's gonna give you the smooth kind, which can be ok. But really I think most of us want more of a diced potato salad.

I’m sure I left many billions of brain cells at KISS concerts over the years. Once in Mempho, there was a terrible ice storm and the pyrotechnics truck for KISS wrecked. They could have cancelled, but them animals played without their bombs and fire. Played close to 3 hours

But, what about the tater skins?
