Chef tips
For a super soft and fluffy potato, wrap it tightly in foil and bake until very tender to the touch. As soon as you open it, mash the inside with butter and cheese while it's still piping hot. Kids love picking their own toppings like corn, olives, or mushrooms. For a dairy-free version, swap the butter for high-quality olive oil and use pesto or raw tahini instead of cheese.
