Notes
Tips:
I do not recommend these be stored after assembling. You can make the potatoes ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week, but keep all the ingredients separated until you’re ready to serve.
You can use your favorite method for baking the potatoes, it doesn’t have to be the oven. This is totally up to you.
The amount of sour cream, bbq sauce, jalapenos, and salt/pepper is totally up to your preferences. I just drizzle and sprinkle until my heart whispers “stop.”
You can use your favorite shredded cheese in place of the kind I used. I tend to use whatever I have on hand.
Be sure to use your favorite BBQ sauce for this recipe as it will have a strong flavor presence.
