For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika along with the salt and pepper. If you don't have leftover baked potatoes, you can bake them specifically for this recipe. Bake them in a 400°F (200°C) oven for about an hour, or until easily pierced with a fork. Don't overcrowd the pan! Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary to ensure even browning. Consider adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor just before serving.
