Super delicious, budget friendly and also loaded with protein and low fat! Dunk your potatoes in water that has been stirred with salt, garlic and onion powder.
This allows the water to sit on the spud then soak in the seasonings once in the oven. Poke a few holes in for pressure release. 450 degrees for an hour, if you have a thermometer you’re good when internal temp is 205-212. I lathered in beef fat (can use olive oil instead), tossed back in for 2 minutes to crisp up some more. Then pop them out, crack them open, and toss in a slice of butter.
Pinch of salt. Top it with plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, way healthier and full of protein. Then shredded some cheddar cheese, and garnish with green onions and black pepper. Enjoy!

It’s way healthier than noodles or other instant meals. The oven time is the only downside—but a wild night in can be roasting spuds
This is one of my fave meals! I cook them in the microwave, which makes the process super fast. Also if you’re feeling lazy, it’s good even if you don’t do anything to the skin. I normally don’t. I just wash it so that it’s good to eat.
I totally agree on the Greek yogurt point!! Here’s some other topping ideas that I have saved to my phone, but there’s tons more out there:
– black beans, salsa, sour cream, cheese, onions, avocados or guacamole, taco seasoning, cornbread
– Feta, olives, onion, vinaigrette
– Broccoli and cheese
– Chili or curry leftovers
– Cottage cheese and honey
– Baked beans or chili beans and cheese
I also love to do sweet potatoes 🙂
how long do you microwave?
