🍴 How to serve stuffed baked potatoes
Stuffed baked potatoes are best served hot while the cheese is still melted and the filling is still warm. Since potatoes are versatile and can go well with almost anything, you can be creative in choosing its toppings and fillings. If you love spicy food, you can also top it with hot sauce or sriracha for a spicy kick. Serve it as a side dish for any meal. Pair it with protein, salad, or vegetables to make it a full meal. I love serving it with my mushroom wellington, vegan bolognese, and mushroom ragu.
🍴Storage and reheating suggestions
To store leftovers, wrap each stuffed potato tightly in a plastic wrap of aluminum foil. Place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before heating in the oven or microwave. To enhance the flavor and improve freshness, sprinkle with cheese or additional toppings during the last few minutes of reheating.
