Pulled Pork Baked Potato
Please rate
A baked potato or jacket potato is an old classic that can be used in different ways when preparing with different ingredients. What I mean by that is you can stuff a baked potato with pretty much anything. Most dishes are served with a potato so why not stuff it with those same ingredients. My version is a pulled pork baked potato. I add shredded cheddar, BBQ sauce, sour cream, diced jalapeno and bacon bits.
Pulled Pork Baked Potato
Baked potatoes are so versatile so use your imagination when putting together ideas. I rub my russet potato with olive oil and salt. You can prick your potato a few times in order to avoid it exploding in the oven but I don't. I have never had that problem but will not object if you choose to do it. I bake my potato at 200C/392F in an oven between 1-2 hours depending on the strength of your oven. Once potato is cooked with a crispy skin I make a slit into the potato, squeeze the ends so the potato opens up and I fluff the inside with a fork. You can season, add butter or do whatever you want with the fluffy potato. Stuff with whatever ingredients you want and enjoy.
