If there is one thing that Dave loves while watching football- its stereotypical tailgating food- chips, beer, wings, potato skins, etc. I could take or leave the football, but I am always down for some “football food.”
Potato skins are one of his favorites, but I was tired of the same old same old method- green onions, cheese, maybe some bacon, and sour cream. Delicious… but kind of boring.
When I ran across WOLF chili in Walmart the other day, I had a flash of genius- I would combine fresh potatoes from the produce section with ready-made chili to combine two of Dave’s guilty pleasures- chili cheese fries and potato skins! These chili cheese potato skins are packed with delicious chili and drippy, melted cheese. They were a massive hit!
The best thing to remember when having a party- make your life easier! A great kitchen hack can really help you out here: No need to tie up your oven for an extended period of time to make the potatoes- simply wash, prick with a fork, wrap in foil and cook on HIGH in your slow cooker for 3 1/2 hours. They come out perfectly!

You’re directions say spread cream cheese in bottom of each potato. There is no mention of cream cheese in the ingredients. I’m assuming you mean sour cream?
Jacqueline says
It actually IS cream cheese. Just spread a thin layer, maybe about 1-2 tsp per potato half. Softening it a bit also helps for spreading.
Trixie says
Hello do u bake the potatoes by themselves first? Thanks!
Jacqueline says
Yes, I do.
Cindy says
So when I cook those in my slow cooker am I doing it on high or low I assume high?
