I went to the farmer’s market this morning and came home with some locally grown Yukon Gold potatoes and a huge bunch of green onions. Of course, my first thought was to make some loaded baked potatoes but I hit the Internet in search of some creative inspiration. I came across a recipe on The Mandatory Mooch that looked delicious and with a few minor changes I came up with these loaded baked potato slices. They were definitely a HUGE hit and the recipe made enough for leftovers that we will eat tomorrow night. I do love recipes that have leftovers!

You could probably make these loaded baked potato slices with just about any type of potato. I like the Yukon Gold because it just has a unique texture…not at all dry and flavorless like some potatoes I have had. Even better was the fact that I supported a local farmer with my purchase! If you are a fan of the classic loaded baked potato I definitely think this recipe will be a hit!
