Notes

Baked potatoes are fantastic on their own but can also be served with various toppings like sour cream, cheese, chives, bacon bits, or chili. To store leftovers, let them cool to room temperature, wrap in foil or place in an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to eat. Experiment with different oils or seasonings for added flavor.
