Make Ahead Cheesy Baked Potato with Spicy Salsa or Casserole Cuisine

One potato, two potato. This is a quick and easy meal anytime of day. Baking potatoes to perfection in the oven takes about two hours. I leave the skins on, poke with a fork and lightly butter before I make a foil tent package. Once they are cooked, I refrigerate over night. Cooking and then cooling makes it easier to cut nice slices. This is just one example of what you can do for a topping. For this recipe I sliced up some good sized segments, reheated the potatoes and topped them with grated cheese for a yummy melt and added some spicy salsa. One large potato easily serves two. As an alternative, you can under cook the potato a bit. Use the same cooling technique before slicing and then make a potato casserole. Layer the potatoes and add in whatever you like. Do at least one layer of potatoes, then your other ingredients and a final top layer of potatoes with a garnish. Timing the second phase of cooking the potatoes will be about thirty minutes.
