Although typically more of an appetizer, I make these baked potato rounds for dinner quite often. We each have our own unique topping preferences, so I customize the pan and serve the entire thing for dinner. It is the perfect easy dinner that you don’t even need to plate! Dig in nacho-style!

It goes without saying that they also make delicious little finger foods for a party, as well. Whether this recipe is a side dish, a game day party dish or the main dish, you and your people will enjoy every bite!
