Loaded Baked Potato
This recipe was inspired by a trip I took to Martinique. We went to a small restaurant near our hotel where we enjoyed grilled meat. As a side dish, we were served these incredibly delicious baked potatoes, and I recreated my own version of that wonderful recipe. Everything was amazing. We went back to that restaurant two or three times because we loved it so much.Serve 4.
