Baked Potato with Avocado and Salsa

Baked Potato with Avocado and Salsa

I love baked potatoes and I also love salsa and fresh avocados. We make baked potatoes all the time and this method is a sure fire hit regardless of the toppings you prefer. My kids love butter, cheese, and bacon on their potatoes, but if you are looking for a healthy alternative I would suggest using salsa, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, and fresh avocado.

Ingredients:

1 russet potato per person

olive oil to “paint” potatoes

salt/pepper

Toppings:

salsa

sliced avocado

plain nonfat Greek yogurt

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. LIne a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Wash potatoes and pierce all over with a fork.
  3. Paint potatoes with olive oil.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake 50-70 minutes until potatoes are easily stabbed with a fork.
  6. Remove from oven.
  7. Cut potatoes in half and add toppings.
