Stuffed Baked Potato Chips

The first few bites of a baked potato are wonderful ~ a balance of topping to potato. Then the topping is gone and you're left with lots of potato; so sad.  Well, this recipe was born from that experience...  Each slice of potato is smothered with the delicious toppings you'd get on a baked potato.  Every bite is as good as the first!
