Growing up it seemed like we had some form of potatoes as a side dish to dinner.  We didn’t really have rice or pasta because my mom wasn’t a huge fan of either.  I’ve had potatoes cooked almost every way possible and a baked potato is still one of my top favorite ways to eat them.  I even wrote a whole post about it here on how to cook the most perfect baked potato.  Super crispy skin with a very tender inside!  Mexicano Pollo Spud - easy dinner recipe

I’ve come to love making baked potatoes not as a side, but as the main course by adding sensational toppings to it!  I’ve tried chili and cheese, broccoli cheese soup and this Mexicano Pollo Spud.
