How to Make Baked Potato With Ricotta

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and prick large baking potatoes (about 2-3 medium sized) several times with a fork. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  3. While potatoes bake, prepare the ricotta topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Once potatoes are cooked, carefully cut them open lengthwise. Fluff the inside with a fork.
  5. Spoon the ricotta mixture generously over each baked potato.
  6. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as crumbled bacon bits, chopped green onions, or shredded cheddar cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
