"There are a lot of creative ways to use kitchen scraps that you might otherwise throw away (like germinating seeds, pickling watermelon rinds, and making stock from bones), and when it comes to potatoes, there are plenty of fun ways to use potato peels. The skin of the potato can arguably be the best part, especially if you're talking about that fan favorite appetizer, loaded potato skins."
"The very best potato skins are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, delightfully cheesy, and when you add on the cool kick of fresh, ultra-cold sour cream, it's a total win. Yes, you can make them yourself, but there's no denying that it's exciting when you spot these on a restaurant's appetizer menu. But it's easy for potato skins to be less-than-great: They can be oily, greasy, impossible to bite through, and when the sour cream is warm or runny? No thanks."
"Sometimes, chain restaurants end up hitting on a side dish that customers love more than any of the mains on the menu, and that's the case with TGI Fridays and the always-popular potato skins. They're often cited as one of the most popular items on the menu, and it's easy to see why. Generally speaking, many customer reviews for TGI Fridays aren't great, but when it comes to the potato skins, things get a little more favorable."
Potato peels and skins offer versatile uses and can be a highlight when prepared well. Ideal loaded potato skins combine a crispy exterior, creamy interior, generous cheese, and very cold sour cream. Poorly made potato skins can be oily, hard to bite, or served with warm or runny sour cream, which detracts from enjoyment. Chains were evaluated for having potato skins on the regular menu and for consistent customer praise. TGI Fridays maintains a long-standing reputation for its loaded potato skins, which many customers list among the restaurant's most popular items.
