To achieve a perfectly baked potato, use russet potatoes! This nutrient-packed recipe adds ricotta, spinach, and pesto.

Wash the potato and pat dry. Prick with a fork 4-5 times on both sides. Place on a microwave safe plate and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. Use oven mitts to flip the potato and microwave an additional 3 minutes. Remove from microwave and set aside
While the potato is cooking, mix together the ricotta and pesto in a bowl
When potato has cooled enough, split open the potato and stuff in the baby spinach leaves. Top with the ricotta-pesto mixture and enjoy!
Time-Saving Tips:
Bake or microwave potatoes ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. You can also mix up the ricotta and pesto ahead of time and refrigerate
Customizations:
Try topping your Power Baked Potato with broccoli or kale as an alternative to spinach. You can also sub in cottage cheese in place of ricotta or sundried tomato pesto instead of basil pesto
