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.

- 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.
