Dinner for the whole TEAM???
Whether you are hosting a slumber party or a tailgate party, this spud is the best!
I remember having “potato Bar” dinners when we had all the kids at home and half the neighborhood kids as well. Being able to feed a bunch of people without getting stressed at all the meal prep and post party clean-up.
This is also an easy dinner for when you are having a bunch of people over. You can be in charge of cooking the potatoes and have everyone bring their favorite topping. You can have a taco theme or mix it up a bit with other flavors.
And the best part is that people can build their own spud, much like a taco salad, so they are getting exactly what they want. Perfect for those on the pickier side!
If your group is large, you can keep the hot aluminum wrapped potatoes in an empty ice=-chest or freezer bag to help them from losing their heat.
The other big benefit from this recipe is that you can literally have all the ingredients prepped several days in advance before you need to use them.
If you know you will be having back to back meetings, school activities, company, consider having a few meals that are ZERO effort to get to the table.
Any left over potatoes can be used for hash browns the next morning! How is that for making life delicious!
Here is what Holly from Life in the Lofthouse has to say about this family favorite.
Taco Potatoes are crazy good. I love everything about this fun and delicious meal. Taco potatoes take ordinary baked potatoes to new heights! Seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce, sour cream and salsa. Everything you love about a taco all over a potato.

Quick Tip: I actually am partial to the Yukon Gold potatoes. If you have a favorite feel free to swap them out.
