Notes
-
- Try to include at least two ingredients from each category so there's plenty to mix and match!
- For a sweet twist, try making a sweet potato bar with toppings like marshmallows, chocolate chips, pretzels, cranberry sauce, whipped cream, etc.
- You can prep the toppings 1-2 hours ahead of time, but I recommend keeping them in the fridge until right before serving.
-
- Wrapping the baked potatoes in foil will help them stay warm after they're done cooking. You can also keep them warm in the oven, just make sure to lower the temperature to 200°F first.
-
- If you have leftover toppings, I suggest storing them in individual ziploc bags or airtight containers such as jars or Tupperware. This will prevent cross-contamination and will extend their shelf life.
-
- Store perishable leftovers in the fridge, and shelf-stable leftovers in the pantry or a cool, dark place.
- Nutritional values have been roughly estimated and will vary depending on combination of toppings.
