These Skinny Guacamole Potato Skins are the perfect addition to any game day fare! And they are super easy, can be changed up in so many ways and are bite size which makes them even better!

Pro Tip: When feeding a group of people, prepare several batches of these. They go super fast! For large groups of people, I recommend making these with very small potatoes or mini potatoes to be able to make a lot.

Pro Tip: Always prepare some extra potatoes ahead of time. All you will need to do when you run low or run out is fill them quickly, top them and set them back out.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Baby Potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • ¼ cups Pancetta roughly chopped
  • 1 cups guacamole
  • ½ cups shredded mexican cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Clean the whole potatoes, dry and rub olive oil around them.
  • Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until you can press gently and feel they are tender.
  • Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool until you can handle them.
  • Slice them in half, lengthwise and scoop out the flesh. Don’t scoop it all out, you need “walls” to hold the potatoes up. I use a melon baller and run it through once to get a small amount. Save the extra potato in a bowl and make some mashed potatoes! Yum!
  • Place each of the cut potatoes back on the baking sheet, with the flesh side facing up. Rub olive oil across the tops.
  • Chop the Pancetta… and allow to crisp in a skillet over medium high heat.
  • Drain and allow to cool slightly.
  • Fill each of the potato skins with a little bit of pancetta, then some shredded cheese. Pop them back into the oven for about 5-10 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove and allow to cool just a bit.
  • Top each potato skin with a dollop of guacamole, sprinkle the top with shredded cheese, onions or even more pancetta.
  • EAT!!!

  3. Nicole, I was just so close to making potato skins for this week’s Sunday Supper, however, you get a big high five for being so creative to make them healthier with the addition of guacamole! I love this! PS: On your side bar, you have something about “St. Louis Happenings”….are you from St. Louis? I lived there for 3 wonderfully happy years and my daughter was born there!

    1. Bobbi, that’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m such an avocado freak, I cannot even imagine how hard that has to be for you. Just close your eyes and move on, I am not one to torture someone! But they really are good! xoxo

    1. haha Shaina thank you! I am a guacamole fan too. I could eat it all the time. I loved piling it onto some potato skins and voila .. fun, different and a little more healthy than bacon and cheese! 🙂 (plus they don’t require sour cream either!)

  5. So many great ideas for the big game today and this is right there at the top for one of my favorites. Pinning this one.

  6. Yes please. These look totally delicious and such a nice twist on a traditional skin.

  7. Ahhh I am so sad. I just recently developed a serious allergy to avocado. Guacamole was one of my favorite game day foods. I would have eaten a whole batch of these!! Great recipe!
