Creative Leftovers
To speed things up, top hot split potatoes with leftovers, such as cooked ground beef or chili, and the cheese. Microwave until heated through. Or, plan ahead and make extra baked potatoes the night before. Refrigerate until ready to use. Then, split potatoes, add topping ingredients and microwave as directed.
Family Fun
Let the kids help out by topping their potato with their favourite toppings.
