I love these ideas. We usually bake potatoes the day after taco day then use the leftover taco fixings to make loaded baked potatoes. Then the following day I’ll make potato soup with any left over potatoes.
All of these look delicious! We just started the Whisk It Wednesday link party and I thought you might be interested in sharing there too! Thanks, Carrie
