A baked potato with vegan butter and scallions.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Potatoes: russet potatoes are classic for baked potatoes. I recommend buying from the bulk section where you can pick individual potatoes, so you can get potatoes that are all the same size, for uniform baking
Olive Oil: optional, to coat the skins of the potatoes and get a nice crisp on the outside
Kosher Salt: to salt the outside of the potato

Topping Ideas

Herbs: scallions or chives give a lightness and freshness to your potatoes
Vegan Butter: vegan butter or a nut butter for some creaminess
Vegan Cheese: like my vegan parmesan, vegan queso or vegan mozzarella. Or use your favorite shredded vegan cheddar.
Vegan Bacon: try my tofu bacon or coconut bacon for a crispy, smoky touch.
Vegan Sour Cream: A dollop of vegan yogurt or cashew cream works perfectly. Or use a lightly seasoned version of my vegan sour cream & onion dip. Or even vegan ranch!
Vegan Meats: to make this a full meal I love adding a protein. My seitan shredded chicken, seitan beef crumbles, or seitan chorizo would all be delicious. Or a store-bought vegan protein like Abbot's,
Beans: my easy oil-free black beans, or just some canned black beans or chickpeas are quite yummy on potatoes
Vegetables: to me the classic baked potato vegetable is steamed broccoli. Other veggies like sautéed bell peppers would be tasty. Or go fancy with some avocado or guacamole.

I used vegan butter, scallions, vegan chorizo, coconut bacon, and vegan sour cream.

FAQ & Expert Tips

Can I make these oil-free?

Yes! Bake the potatoes dry and skip oil-based toppings. You can still rub the outsides with salt, if desired.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Yes! Bake the potatoes in advance, then reheat and add toppings when ready to serve.
I find the microwave is the best way to reheat baked potatoes.

Storage

Store baked potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
