When it comes to simple and delicious comfort foods, a definite top contender would be the baked potato. It’s perfectly crispy and slightly salty on the outside, while still being soft and fluffy on the inside.

By adding on just a touch of butter, a handful of cheese and your choice of toppings, you’ve got yourself a filling snack or a scrumptious side dish. But to add a slight twist to the recipe today, we’re using miso butter for a more umami-packed flavor.

I’m a big fan of miso. So I would always try to find ways to incorporate it, especially in dishes that I’ve made countless of times. Here are some miso recipes for you to check out:

  • Garlic Miso Noodle Soup (15 Minutes)
  • Chili Oil Miso Udon (15 minutes)
  • Sweet Potato Mash With Miso Butter
  • Miso Garlic Butter Salmon

Cheesy Baked Potato with Miso Butter

The potatoes are baked in the oven before sliced lengthwise, then mixed with miso butter and cheese. Next, a layer of preferred toppings is added such as bacon, green onions and chili oil.

Ingredients

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Russet potatoes: In general, Russet potatoes are the best for baked potato dishes. The skin is thick, which crisps up nicely in the oven. And the starchy insides lend to it becoming nice and fluffy.
  • Neutral oil
  • Salt
  • Cheddar cheese: Freshly grated
  • Bacon (optional)
  • Chili oil (optional): I used my Homemade Chili Oil, but if you’re looking for a store-bought option, I recommend the one by Lao Gan Ma.
  • Green onions (optional)

Miso Butter

  • Unsalted butter: Softened at room temperature
  • Miso: I used red miso paste. (see notes)
  • Garlic (optional)
  • Sugar
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
  2. Scrub clean your potatoes and pat dry. With a fork or a knife, carefully poke each potato all over at least 10 times. Coat the potatoes with a neutral oil and some salt and place it on a lined baking tray.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes then lower the temperature of the oven to 400 F and let it bake for another 30 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are baking, grate your cheese and make the miso butter by mixing the ingredients in a bowl.
  5. Once the potatoes are baked, carefully slice the potato halfway through (lengthwise) and gently squeeze to open.
  6. Fluff up the potato with a fork and add miso butter and cheese. Mix together until the cheese melts and add more miso butter on top, cheese, chili oil, bacon and green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes for Cheesy Miso Butter Baked Potato

  • Type of miso paste: I used red miso, but it has a strong taste. Feel free to use white or yellow miso paste which are milder. Adjust to taste.
  • Caution: Handle the potatoes carefully once baked since it’s really hot.
  • Choice of toppings: Feel free to use any toppings you like.
  • Pierce holes in potatoes: Make sure to pierce holes in potatoes before baking as it helps to release the steam while in the oven. Thus, preventing them from bursting open.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
