Baked potatoes may seem plain and simple on the surface, but for that reason they’re complementary to so many other foods. By scooping out most of a potato’s innards, it leaves one with ample opportunities to create a truly delectable dish.
Indeed, filling out potatoes with various foods is becoming one of the most booming trends in the food scene—so if you’re interesting in joining the party, here are some of the best potato filling ideas around!
Tuna and Sweetcorn
Mix a can of tuna and olive oil with mayonnaise. Boil or fry sweetcorn and mix it into the tuna, before serving on a steaming baked potato with crispy skin. The flavors of the tuna and sweetcorn complement each other beautifully, and contrast lovingly with the fluffy potato. This meal is also packed full of essential minerals, vitamins and omega-3.
Chilli Con Carne
Put a potato in the oven and cook up a powerful chilli con carne. When they’re both done, fill your potato with the chilli and sprinkle on cheddar cheese and coriander. Serve with a dollop of unsweetened yogurt.
Creamy Mushroom
Fry up some mushrooms with onions, lots of garlic, chives, and cream cheese. When the sauce is thick but still liquidy, pour it onto your opened baked potato. The creamy sauce seeps into the fluffy potato and tastes delicious with the crunchy skin.
