Baked potatoes make a great side dish to almost any meal. They can also make a great meal in themselves. Sure, we have all had a baked potato topped with butter and maybe sour cream. Have you ever wanted something more? I have some ideas for you! Next time you make a baked potato, try one of these toppings in for size:
Using regular potatoes, already cooked:
Add butter, cooked peas and Parmesan cheese - enjoy for a meal
Add 1 cooked package of Green Giant, broccoli and cheese - enjoy for a meal or side dish
Add sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon - makes a great side dish
Add yellow corn, red pepper flakes and shredded cheddar cheese - great for lunch or a side dish
Add 1/2 of a small can of chicken, cooked spinach and shredded Mozzarella cheese - enjoy for dinner
Using sweet potatoes, already cooked:
For a sweet treat add butter and cinnamon
For an even sweeter treat:
Add honey butter, cinnamon and mini marshmallows
You can easily make a meal out of any of these great potato creations! To purchase ingredients in Raleigh, NC, try: The Fresh Market, 6325 Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh.
Comments
When you bake your potato, be sure to use a potato spike and DO NOT wrap it in foil. That just steams it.
