Loaded Baked Potato Rounds (with vegetarian option)

Loaded Baked Potato Rounds served on a white plateMy poor vegetarian husband never gets to enjoy loaded potato skins at gatherings because they are always topped with bacon.

Last week we attended a party that had potato skins, and once again, Darryl was so disappointed he couldn’t have any. To cheer him up, I decided to whip these for a fun treat for him and the girls.

I made one batch with vegetarian MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips & one with our favorite Trader Joe’s Bacon. This appetizer is such a crowd pleaser and is very easy to make. Hope you enjoy!

Loaded Baked Potato Rounds

  1. First preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Thinly slice potatoes (about 1/8 of an inch). Place slices in cold, salted water. Bring potatoes to a boil and then cover for 4-5 minutes. Carefully drain, and transfer potatoes to a paper-towel lined plate and pat to dry.
  2. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray foil with cooking spray. Lay potato slices close together and spray lightly with additional cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.  Finally, sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese & bacon.  Bake 10-14 minutes in preheated oven until cheese is melted & bubbly.Loaded Baked Potato Rounds served on a white plate
