1. Glass Goose
Inner-city bar and eatery Glass Goose makes its potato skins particularly crispy by cooking them in duck fat — it may sound a bit scary, but worth every bite. Topped off with garlic, rosemary and dipped in aioli.
— 78 Federal St, Auckland CBD
2. Burger Burger
Although it's easy to over do it with a burger and fries, the skins at Burger Burger are worth the inevitable food regret afterwards. Served super chunky with truffle aioli.
— The Lane, Ponsonby Central, Ponsonby; 3B York St, Osborne Ln, Newmarket and Fortieth & Hurstmere, 40 Hurstmere Rd, Takapuna
3. Depot
Sharing a bowl of potato skins at Depot is an essential part of the dining experience. The expert chefs serve them up with manchego and porcini salt.
— 86 Federal St, Auckland CBD
4. Buoy Cafe
The lamb burger at newly-opened Buoy Cafe is served with chunky potato skins, or if you're a potato purist, you can just order a whole bowl as your meal.
— 141-151 Westhaven Dr, Westhaven
5. The Cav
The Cav serves its classic steak, eggs in chips with thick hand cut skins — now that's good pub fare.
— 68 College Hill, Ponsonby
6. Grangers Tap House & Kitchen
Served with parmesan, porcini and truffle oil, the skins at Grangers are even better washed down with a beer after a day on the water.
— The Promenade, 1 Ara-Tai, Half Moon Bay
