Kroger's Potato Skin Poppers

If you have a large family, this recipe was made for you as each serving is huge and very filling. Note that prep time for this dish is 45 minutes and cook time was 20. My suggestion, gather the family in the kitchen and have them help with prep. It makes the prep time fly.

I replaced the frozen diced potatoes with fresh, fried potatoes. I needed more protein so instead of 3 cups of potatoes I used 2 cups and added 1 cup of diced cooked chicken. For the chicken, I poached it in Biltmore Century White Wine as per Looneyspoons recipe on page 95. Love that recipe.

The poppers by themself are a bit bland so I suggest pairing them with salsa or guacamole which gives them a nice kick plus an another veggie serving. I enjoyed this dish with Flip Flop Moscato. The sweetness of the wine enhanced the poppers which I topped with guacamole making this a great dinner.
