Baked Potato with assorted fillings, Convenience-style
This is another idea for using ‘accidentally vegan’ products to make a quick meal. Obviously, it’s easy to bake a potato from scratch but this is for those of you who are too busy to cook – for this meal at least!
Time factors
- Microwaved. This is fastest but also depends on your microwave’s power.
- Oven. This takes longest.
- How many potatoes are being cooked – this applies particularly to microwaved potatoes.
McCain’s and Bannister’s Farm are the most common brands and you should find these nearly everywhere.
