During Saint Patty’s Day, there are a couple things for which you need to prepare. Wear green to avoid being pinched, go out and buy Irish whiskey to make cocktails, and most importantly make a party appetizer that will help to soak up all that alcohol. Shepard’s Pie Potato Skins are up to that task.


Val and I were thinking about this Saint Patty’s and wanting to put a twist on the deliciousness that is Shepard’s Pie. We are both VERY big fans of mashed potato’s and potato skins, so the combination was merely a matter of time. It’s literally a portable Shepard’s Pie and these bad boys will absorb more alcohol than your friends can put away. The only problem you’ll have is you didn’t make enough!


You can deep fry the potato skins and if you decide to go that route, more power to you! There are a number of things you can do to accomplish this appetizer easier if needed. You can microwave the potatoes. Just stab the potatoes with a fork all the way around. Cover in a wet paper towel and microwave for 10 minutes. We tried this method out and for the first batch it was good, so that’s what we put in our recipe. Microwaving does zap all the nutrition out of food,, but if you need them in a hurry its an options. You could also buy the potato skins by themselves and use instant mashed potatoes.


I would recommend having some potato skins on standby if you’re having a party. Just use our recommended cooking for the start of the party. Then as the night goes on, if you need more, use instant mashed potatoes.


However you make these Shepard’s Pie Potato Skins, have fun with it! From our kitchen to yours, cheers!
