An absolute camping or barbecue classic the baked potato. Of course, when camping or grilling, it is traditionally prepared in a campfire and not in the oven. It is a simple dish and yet so delicious. It's also ideal for flexitarian diets. The baked potato is again another example of how versatile the potato can be. Traditionally served with a herb curd. This dish can be found nowadays especially on warm summer days in many German beergardens. But as I said on our food blog, I'll show you today how you can make a super baked potato at home.
