Father's Day 2026: Make

Loaded Potato Skins

The Star Of Your Family Dinner

These loaded potato skins are the perfect addition to a Father's Day menu that's a little bit more special than your typical weekend dinner. Cheddar is grated into the potatoes, followed by crispy bacon and a hint of smoked paprika for a bit of spice. They do not really belong to breakfast or dessert, but consider them the savoury snack for lunch and dinner or simply enjoy them as a standalone with a cold beverage. The crunchy potato shell, the melted cheese that's gooey, and the cool swirl of Greek yoghurt at the end balances the richness. Roast the whole potatoes until they are tender, then scoop out the inside and fill with butter, seasoning, cheese and bacon. With a quick run under the broiler, everything will melt together and crisp up the edges. There's no fancy equipment required to prepare this loaded potato skins recipe. You just need a sheet pan and an oven. If you're inviting people to dinner this Father's Day, this potato skins recipe is perfect because it should be easy to make a double batch. Once potatoes are in the oven, it requires little hands-on attention. This is even easy to accomplish for beginners. When you have leftovers, simply store them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Do not add the yoghurt and the green onions or chives until you are ready to reheat and serve. They will be just as delicious the second time.
