Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes clean and pat them dry. Use a fork to poke several holes into the sides of each potato.
2. Bake
Place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour, or until they’re tender when pierced with a fork. Larger potatoes may need additional time.
3. Make the PO-TACOS
Carefully slice each potato lengthwise. Scoop out about half of the potato flesh, leaving enough inside to help the potato hold its shape.
4. Add the Toppings
Fill each potato with your favorite toppings. Try refried beans and salsa, chicken chili with cheddar, or BBQ chicken with sour cream.
Serve warm and let everyone customize their own PO-TACO!
Notes
-
Choose similar-sized potatoes: This helps them bake more evenly.
-
Check for doneness: A fork should slide easily into the center of the potato.
-
Keep the skins intact: Leave a sturdy layer of potato around the edges so each PO-TACO holds its toppings.
-
Set up a topping bar: Place toppings in separate bowls so everyone can build their own.
-
Use leftover toppings: Chili, beans, cooked chicken, and vegetables make easy additions.
-
Avoid overfilling: Add toppings gradually so the potatoes stay easy to handle.
