Ingredients for a Baked Potato Charcuterie Board

There are so many ingredient options you can add to you baked potato charcuterie board. The first item is a baked potato! You should plan one medium sized baked potato for each person. I usually cook 1-2 extra potatoes in case anyone wants seconds.

To bake your potato, pop a few holes in your potato with a knife or fork and cover in in tin foil. Bake for 60 minutes at 400 degree. If you like a crispy skin, you can cook it without the tin foil or remove the tinfoil part way through and brush with a little butter. Poke the potato to make sure it is soft and done.

Once you have your perfectly baked potato, you can choose from the list of possible toppings below. Cook each item or simply serve cold:

1. Sour Cream: A classic choice, sour cream adds a creamy and tangy element.
2. Chives or Green Onions: Finely chopped for a fresh and mild onion flavor.
3. Butter: A generous pat of butter for richness and flavor.
4. Shredded Cheese: Cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for gooey, melty goodness.
5. Bacon Bits: Crispy bacon adds a smoky and savory touch.
6. Cheddar Cheese Sauce: A velvety cheese sauce for extra indulgence.
7. Broccoli Florets: Steamed broccoli adds a pop of color and a nutritious element.
8. Salsa: Fresh or chunky salsa brings a zesty and vibrant kick.
9. Guacamole: Creamy avocado goodness for a luxurious texture.
10. Black Beans: Cooked black beans for added protein and earthy flavor.
11. Sautéed Mushrooms: A flavorful and savory topping for mushroom lovers.
12. Grilled Onions: Caramelized onions for sweetness and depth of flavor.
13. Pulled Pork: Tender and seasoned pulled pork for a hearty option.
14. Sautéed Spinach: Quick-cooked spinach for a nutritious touch.

Assembling a Baked Potatoes Charcuterie Board

Assembling your baked potato charcuterie board is SO EASY.

Using a medium to large charcuterie board to create this dinner board.

Start by putting all your ingredients into bowls, heating beans, and cutting your ingredients into bit sized pieces.

Place your baked potatoes on your board. For this board I prefer to put the potatoes around the outside of board and fill the inside with the bowls of different ingredients. Fill in any empty spaces with potato chips that can be used to dip in the different dips on this fun board.

Serving a Baked Potato Charcuterie Board

The one thing to keep in mind when creating this charcuterie board with baked potatoes is that you will need to serve it hot. Baked potatoes should be served within about 15 minutes to make sure that they are hot on the inside. This means that once the potatoes come out of the oven you will need to get going with your board assembly.

Serve up this charcuterie board for dinner. Some people may even want to pop this fully assembled potato into the microwave or putting it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese or crisp up some of the ingredients.
