Loaded Baked Potato Bar

1. Make as many Perfectly Baked Potatoes as you like.
2. Dig around in your refrigerator for every good thing you can put on a baked potato. Set it all out, and let everyone build their own.
3. Individual potatoes can be split in half, topped with cold ingredients like carnitas, cheese, and green chili, then placed in the microwave for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and warm the meat and chili. Alternatively, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place potatoes on a baking sheet to heat the potatoes along with the toppings.
4. Top with additional cold ingredients – such as sour cream and fresh vegetables and devour.
