While baked potatoes are easy to make, they do take an hour to bake. Baked potatoes are the ideal low maintenance dish with a very short prep time that you can to set and forget for an hour.

We love to stuff our baked potatoes with butter, sour cream and chives. A fun alternative to classic stuffing is to top with Vegetarian Chilli and cheddar cheese.
