Breakfast spud suggestions
Make sure you’ve cooked your potatoes a bit so that they are easy to scoop and cut down on time in the oven. You can either use bacon bits or strips for your filling and even add some cherry tomatoes if you’re feeling adventurous. Baked eggs are surprisingly delicious but if you’re unsure, you can fry them and add them at the end. You can of course also use sweet potatoes for this recipe and serve everything with a cup of coffee and whatever tasty sides you can think of.
