Healthy Party Food: 16 Savoury and Sweet Bites
While I was researching ways to make a quick dinner after a tiring day, I came across so many great baked potato recipes, that I thought they deserved a blog post of their own.
Because baked potatoes aren’t just a budget-friendly and versatile ingredient, they also make a good spoonie-proof comfort food. Yes, baked potatoes require a long time in the oven, but they’re pretty easy and effortless to make. To save yourself even more energy, you can batch cook a couple (sweet) potatoes in the oven and save them up to 4 days in the fridge. Or just follow The Kitchn’s instructions on how to make a jacked potato in the microwave in 5 to 10 minutes.
I know carbs have gotten a bad reputation over the past decade. But in its purest form – unpeeled and not fried – the humble potato contains plenty of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium and health-boosting antioxidants. You can also use sweet potatoes rich in beta-carotene, which supports healthy vision and your immunity.
Most of the baked potato recipes below serve as a nourishing lunch or light dinner, but you can even go full out with a baked potato bar for a fun but simple dinner party.
So if you’re looking for an easy but comfy meal, check out the best baked potato recipes.
