Red Lobster Baked Potato Recipe is a delicious side dish that can be served alongside a main course. It is loaded with creamy potato goodness, and topped with cheddar cheese.
Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly, then dry them with a paper towel.
Using a fork, poke holes all around the potatoes to allow steam to escape while baking.
Coat each potato with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt on top.
Wrap each potato in foil and place them on a baking tray.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
Place a teaspoon of butter on top of each potato, followed by cheddar cheese and green onions.
Sprinkle black pepper on top.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
– If you don’t have red potatoes, you can use russet or Yukon Gold potatoes.– To make the potatoes extra crispy, bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes.– To make the dish vegan, omit the cheese and bacon and use vegan-friendly ingredients.– If you are short on time, you can microwave the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before baking.– You can also add other ingredients such as sour cream, green onions, or jalapenos.
