Loaded Salt Crusted Jacket Potatoes

As October comes to a close, with cooler days and more leaves falling from the trees, it is quite frequent that my oven comes on here at home. But since we are a long way away from any sort of freezing weather and snow, it is quite frequent that I still keep some of the cooking outdoors, and grilling steaks is one of my favorites. And with steaks I always want a big fluffy potato, jam packed with everything short of the kitchen sink, don’t you? Anything less is just not right.

But where innovation is always delightful, the traditional always brings comfort, and so it is with the loaded baked potato. And for those who entertain their guests, having an overload of topping dishes on the table can make it seem quite cluttered, but with this simple blend of cheese, butter, herbs and bacon, you can keep all of that in one bowl to pass.  So yes, you can have it all.
