Jessica loves potato chips and french onion dip. She also loves potato skins. So she thought she’d come up with a way to combine two of her favorite things into French onion potato skins!

These make for an elevated Game Day snack, but also work as an appetizer during a cocktail party or the upcoming holidays!

This segment aired on California Cooking with Jessica Holmes, Episode 156.

1. Boil baby potatoes in pot of heavily salted water until they’re cooked through and soft.

4. Brush the potatoes with melted butter and olive oil and sprinkle them with coarse salt.
5. Bake them in an oven at 425 degrees until crispy on each side.
6. Add your onions into a skillet with butter and olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and let them slowly cook on low to medium heat.
