It was the day of the big game, and we didn’t have any plans. On a whim, I asked some friends what they were up to for the game. They said they were hanging out at home and invited us over. Just like that, a game day party was born! But what to bring? These Crock Pot Buffalo Chicken Potato Skins I found in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue were just right for the occasion! They were a huge hit with everyone!

      Hi Ellen!

      Your potatoes are baked before you scoop them out. Enjoy!

  2. this sounds like a great recipe — i will have to try it, however i just can’t do the really hot buffalo sauce — i think i am going to do it with a medium salsa instead. it should still add alot of flavor without burning my mouth & giving me major heartburn….yes i realize it will no longer be “buffalo chicken”, but it still sounds like it would be good (anything with potato skins, right?

      Hi Kathleen!

      I’m a wimp when it comes to spicy things. However, I do like buffalo flavoring. I haven’t tried this yet, but if you like buffalo flavoring, you might try doing half melted butter, half buffalo sauce. Michael does that for me when he makes buffalo wings so that I can actually eat them! Whatever way you try it, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!
