Build-Your-Own Baked Potato Board

Fully loaded or kept simple with a pat of butter, everybody gets their way with a Build-Your-Own Baked Potato Board. Potatoes with perfectly crispy, salted skins and warm, soft insides meet their match with a variety of savory toppings.

Stuff Your Spud

We all get excited about “Stuff-Your-Own Spud” night! It’s such a great way to eat up leftovers that we have in the fridge from other meals we’ve enjoyed throughout the week. We each get to stuff our own baked potato to make it a meal with a variety of veggies, proteins and flavorful toppings. My Build-Your-Own Baked Potato Board brings the fun together for tater creativity at your fingertips.

I always like to bake a few sweet potatoes in addition to regular baked potatoes because some of us will do a half of each one and top them completely differently. The crispy, salted potato skins are a must. Sometimes, I build this masterpiece on a 20-inch round wood board or more often, my 24×18 walnut wood board, which provides plenty of room for all the fixings.

No Stopping the Toppings!

Your imagination is truly the limit when it comes to Build-Your-Own Baked Potato Board toppings. From sweet mini marshmallows to salty crispy bacon, the possibilities are endless. Just use what you have on hand and everyone is sure to find stuffing options that will satisfy! Here are some of the yummy stuffing options I have put on my family’s BYO Baked Potato Boards over the years:

• Butter (of course!)
• Sour cream
• Shredded cheese
• Blue cheese
• Pan seared chicken tenderloins
• Bacon
• Chili (or no-bean chili)
• Barbecue sauce
• Hummus
• Avocado chunks
• Chopped kale mix
• Steamed broccoli
• Halved cherry tomatoes
• Green onions
• Sliced jalapeño
• Chopped cilantro
• Ranch dressing
• Salsa
• Hot sauce
• Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes

How to Make a Baked Potato Board

I like to arrange all of my sides on the board first, leaving a spot for the fresh-from-the-oven potatoes and a small pot of hot chili.

This part is our favorite! Grab a spud and get to stuffin’! Once it’s all loaded up, enjoy!

Every once in a while, I keep it simple. Some butter, salt, and I’m good to go. But most times, I want to pile on every yummy salty, scrumptious topping I can get my hands on and make a hearty meal of it. I get a kick out of seeing what my kids will go for each time. I love seeing them branch out and try something adventurous!

What would you stuff your spud with?

The Aftermath

With six hungry mouths, leftovers aren’t usually an issue at our house. But for those friends who ask what to do with the leftover toppings, I combine most of the leftovers into one container and make it my lunch the next day! I eat them as is or create a salad out of them. If the mood strikes, I even turn them into a soup. Like I said, we usually don’t have too much leftover though, as you can see.

I hope you enjoy this Build-Your-Own Potato Board as much as we do! If you recreate this with your loved ones, be sure to tag me @thebakermama on Instagram so I can see how you stuff your spuds! 😍 I just love seeing how inspired and creative y’all get with the inspiration I share.
