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.
