Baked potatoes are one of the best meals. They’re so easy to do, they just require some pre-thought to leave enough time to bake them. And the results are so satisfying and comforting. They’re the perfect base as they are super neutral so will taste great with a huge variety of toppings. Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

Baked Beans and Cheese

This is a classic comfort meal but is such a good choice. It’s also so easy to do – just open a tin of beans and heat them then pour over the baked potato and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Despite coming from a tin, baked beans are still an excellent source of veg and protein, so this is a well-rounded and tasty meal choice.

Tuna and Sweetcorn

The salty tuna paired with the fresh sweet corn is a match made in heaven. This works best when mixed with mayonnaise to bind it and add some indulgent creaminess. This perfect balance of flavors is delicious when piled on top of a crispy baked potato. 

Black Bean Chili and Avocado

This requires more effort than the above two but is well worth it. It’s perfect if you have leftover chili. If your chili is vegan, then this is an ideal choice for a balanced and delicious plant-based meal.

When the mercury begins to dip and cooler days set in, baked potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes to enjoy alongside dinner. While classically topped with butter and/or sour cream, there are many different spins you can put on this favorite meal.

Check out these topping ideas for a delicious baked potato treat.

Sautéed Mushrooms

Sautéing mushrooms and adding them on top of a baked potato along with another ingredient like sour cream or onions is a tasty option for this side dish. I recommend sautéing them in balsamic vinegar with herbs and spices to give them a delectable flavor.

Guacamole

If you’re having a Mexican-themed dinner, why not try serving up baked potatoes topped with guacamole? This Mexican favorite is a great idea for topping a baked potato with—especially when you use toppings like shredded cheese as well.

Bacon and Egg

A baked potato for breakfast?! That’s right, as topping this tuber with bacon and a sunny-side up egg or two can be a surprisingly great choice for breakfast. The runny egg yolks and crispiness of the bacon are great complements to the potato.

People really underestimate the complexity of a baked potato, because a lot of people haven’t had really good ones. A baked potato should have skin crispy like a potato chip and an interior creamy like mashed potatoes. When you’re through baking these potatoes, you won’t even want to add butter or sour cream to them, they’re that good. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 pounds of russet or Idaho potatoes
  • Olive oil 
  • Flaked sea salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 F and start scrubbing your potatoes very well with a potato scrubber or by hand. 
  2. Using a fork or anything with many spikes, prick holes all over the potato so the steam can escape as you cook it. 
  3. Then, dry them off slightly if necessary, and rub olive oil over the potatoes so the skin glistens. 
  4. Generously season with salt and pepper to your taste, and then put them right on the oven rack without wrapping them in tin foil. You can put a sheet pan or a sheet of tin foil on the rack below to catch drippings if you’re worried. 
  5. Bake for 60-75 minutes or longer until the skin is super crispy and the inside looks really creamy. 
  6. Allow it to cool slightly and enjoy!

Nutritional yeast is known to many vegans and vegetarians as magic fairy dust. It is chock-full of B vitamins, and surprisingly tastes cheesy! Nutritional yeast can give anything a delicious cheesy flavor, so here are some ways to use it.

Popcorn

Nutritional yeast on stovetop popcorn is simply divine. All you have to do is heat up some oil in a pot and put the kernels in it. Put the lid on and shake it until all the kernels are popped. Cover it in salt and nutritional yeast and you’re in for a cheesy snack.

Baked Potatoes

If you are craving a cheesy baked potato, nutritional yeast is here to save the day! First, wash and scrub your potatoes. Stab it with a fork 2-3 times and cover it in oil and some salt. Roast at 425F for about 45 minutes. Cut it open, and cover it in nutritional yeast, scallions, and regular or vegan sour cream!

Pesto

Instead of reaching for Parmesan, make your pesto vegan by adding nutritional yeast instead. Put fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast in a food processor. As it’s going, pour in olive oil and you have yourself an amazing vegan pesto!
