Easy Baked Potato Bar Recipes

EASY BAKED POTATO BAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 F.
• Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, then place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the potatoes are pierced easily with a fork.
• Cut a slit in the potatoes, lengthwise, then set out alongside the toppings. If you want to keep the potatoes warm, you can place them in a slow cooker on the warm setting. Let everyone serve their own potatoes and enjoy!

SIMPLE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Use a fork to poke about 5 holes into each potato. Place each potato on a sheet of aluminum foil about 6 inches wide. Brush butter mixture over potatoes, making sure to evenly coat each one. Wrap up completely in foil. Poke 5 more holes into the wrapped potatoes.
• Bake potatoes in the center of the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Spread leftover butter mixture over potatoes after cutting them open.

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: AN EASY BAKED POTATO BAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender and cooked through, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Slice the tops open and slightly push the potatoes in, prepping them for the innards. (I like the word innards.)
• For the kids' potatoes, give each russet potato a good dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of Cheddar and a few broccoli florets. Done.
• For the adults' potatoes, fill each sweet potato with crumbled blue cheese, bacon crumbles, garlic chips, scallions and red onion. Done.
