There’s something timeless about baked potatoes—crispy skins, fluffy interiors, and endless topping possibilities. But Creamy Pour-Over Baked Potatoes take that classic comfort food to a whole new level.
Instead of simply topping baked potatoes after they’re cooked, this recipe bathes them in a rich, seasoned cream mixture before baking. The result? Tender, flavor-infused potatoes with golden edges and a luxuriously creamy texture throughout.
It’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner, yet elegant enough for holiday gatherings.
