Great low fat alternative! Made them for the entire family and everyone raved. I was unsure if 1 tsp of oil was going to be enough, but added the spices to the oil, then dumped all ingredients into a zippy bag so they could be mixed thoroughly. Worked out great! I dolloped some low fat sour cream on each skin before serving and yummo!! Thanks for posting this great recipe Bev.

So good and so easy. Made to accompany a hotdog lunch in place of the usual (and more caloric) french-fries. At first, my straying from the norm was not well-received by the family, but when they tasted these lovely potato skins, all issues were quickly resolved. Delicious with ketchup (we're real plebes).

Very tasty! Bev these were great. I made mashed potatoes for dinner tonight so I peeled them like you said. Then put the skins in fresh water to keep them from browned and I fixed them later that night. Then I towel dried them and added 2 teaspoons of olive oil but the other ingredients I left the same. I found that if you mixed WELL after each ingredient the stripes were coated evenly. Mixing well is the key to success on a batch of these cheesy potato skins. I'll never peel potatoes the same 'old way' again. From now on you'll find a container of water with skins in it on my counter top, waiting to be used as a late night snack. Thank you for posting this delicious recipe. Made for Zaar Tag game 2007
