Benefits of Baked Potatoes
For some reason, potatoes got a bad rep in the past. Lucky for you, we’re here to bust the myth that potatoes are bad for you. Potatoes are high in fiber as well as important vitamins and minerals such as iron and vitamin B and C. They’re also a great source of potassium, which is an excellent nutrient for post-exercise recovery and muscle soreness. For this recipe, we recommend baking your potatoes in the oven. However, you can also make your baked potatoes in the slow cooker during the day by following this Slow Cooker Baked Potato recipe!
Toss Up This Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Start by making the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400° F and place the cleaned red potatoes on a baking sheet. Poke them with a fork 4 or 5 times to let the steam out while baking. Drizzle and coat the potatoes with olive oil. Then, place them in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until they’re soft and easy to pierce with a fork. Let the potaotes cool and then cut them into quarters. Add the sliced potatoes to a large bowl, then drizzle apple cider vinegar over top and let them sit.
Meanwhile, mix the lemon juice, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the dressing. Add the dressing to the bowl with the potatoes, then top with radish, red onion, dill, green onion, cheddar cheese, and slivered almonds. Toss and serve over a bed of lettuce.
