You say potato… I say, ok!
Look in your kitchen, check your counters, baskets and refrigerator. I know you have a baking potato or two lying around.
Make a complete dinner!
Have you ever pondered the endless possibilities of potato toppings? Butter is a given but you can also add proteins such as beef, ground turkey, carnitas even tofu!
As far as vegetables, you can go fresh, steamed, roasted or fried. Your choice.
Don’t get me wrong. I still love my my baked potato drowned in melted cheese (my college meal for four years).
But for this dinner, I decided to caramelize my onions and add a splash of Holland House White Cooking Wine. I love the taste it gives the sweet onions and earthy mushrooms.
Now with the warmer months ahead of us, I would love to include these baked potato toppings in outdoor cookout baked potato bar. Sounds like a great reason to have a party! Stay tuned for more baked potato topping ideas. I can’t wait to share them with you. Happy potato baking!
