You know the velvety soft and rich creamy filling of a twice-baked potato? This dip is basically a skillet full of that, served with a side of thick-cut potato chips, so potato lovers be warned: You might need to reserve this recipe for parties, to avoid overindulging. (In case it’s not clear, we are speaking from experience, this addictive dip was inspired by our endless appetite for spuds!). At a party though, this is just the thing, especially because you can whip it up 30 minutes before your guests arrive—thanks to quick-and-easy Betty Crocker™ roasted garlic mashed potatoes. The potatoes are made even more decadent by the addition of sour cream, cream cheese and butter. Not to mention the loaded baked potato-inspired toppings which include: bacon, green onions, cheddar cheese and some chopped parsley. With such a crowd-pleasing array of ingredients, we think this appetizer would be welcome on game day, at the church potluck and anywhere else you want to take it!
