I have always loved potatoes, and ever since I figured out how to make an amazing potato skin shell, I make a variation of them all the time for parties and holidays.  These gluten free Italian Sausage Marinara Potato Skins are incredibly simple and easy to make, plus you can make the shells, or the entire thing, in advance for a quick finger food option.

You will need more or less of the sauce and cheese depending on the exact size and shape of your potato skins.
