loaded baked potato — Housewife's Whimsy

When I visited my sister in Texas I had the absolute BEST loaded baked potato. It was incredibly amazing and the first loaded baked potato I’d had in quite a while. I decided that I needed to do my best to replicate this at home. Since this recipe is entirely gluten free anyone can enjoy this too!You can make this with about any type of potato you like. Traditionally loaded baked potatoes are made with large russet potatoes but I didn’t have those on hand. You can see from the photos that I’ve made it with red potatoes this time around. I personally find there isn’t that much of a taste difference between the different types, so feel free to use whatever potato you enjoy the most!You will notice that I haven’t included specific amounts for the toppings. This is due to the fact each one of you prefers a different amount of toppings on your potato. I love to really load up my potato, but if you’re trying to cut back you might want to use slightly less toppings. I prefer to use white pepper, since it has a slightly milder taste. However, Alex enjoys black pepper far more. Use whatever your family prefers and you have on hand. [amd-yrecipe-recipe:112]Chopped Chives (optional)
