WASHINGTON, DC, February 3, 2013 - Looking for a last minute filling dish for your super bowl party? These delicious potato skins are perfect.
Chef Mary’s potato skins
They have a delicious combination of sweet and savory with a hint of sophistication with a touch of down home cooking combined into one.
These recipes were inspired because of my love for sweet potatoes and my undying devotion to the everyday russet potato.
Whenever you are cooking for a party it is wonderful to bring something traditional and something with pizzazz.
