loaded potato skins

Topped potato shells

Loaded potato skins are a bar food or appetizer made from potato halves with the flesh scooped out, leaving just the skin and a thin layer of potato.

These shells are baked or fried until crispy, then topped with cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, and chives: We ordered loaded potato skins while we waited for our table.

The "loaded" indicates the same toppings found on a loaded baked potato.
