Loaded Breakfast Potato!

Loaded Breakfast Potato!

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This breakfast was so good – I made it yesterday and dreamed about making it again today for breakfast!  The loaded breakfast potato could be a new rotation for my breakfasts!

You can customize it with whatever you have on hand.  I microwaved the baked potato, so no need to heat up an oven in the summer for an hour to make this!

What vegetables did I use?

Since today is Friday – I looked in my vegetable drawer to see what I had:

  • a few baby bell peppers
  • small yellow onion
  • kale
  • broccolini
  • green onions

How do you cook a potato?

Since it’s summer time – I didn’t want to take the time or heat my kitchen up by baking a potato – so my easy method is just to cook it in the microwave for 5 minutes.  I wash the skin well, pat dry, wrap in a paper towel and cook.  While the potato is cooking, you can start assembling the toppings!
