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