How to Make Salsa Spuds

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking potatoes. Alternatively, use pre-baked potatoes.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of your favorite salsa. Stir frequently until cheese is melted and smooth.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in ¼ cup sour cream. Heat through, ensuring it doesn’t curdle.
  4. Split your hot baked potatoes and generously spoon the Salsa Spud mixture over each one.
  5. Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions or a sprinkle of chili powder for extra flavor.
