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.

Ramadan recipe #5 Burrata Bruschetta with Tomatoes Ramadan recipe #5 Burrata Bruschetta with Tomatoes @farahjeats 
Save and share this recipe! I am obsessed with this one. During restaurant week, Mike and I went to a place that served the most amazing bruschetta. So of course I had to recreate it at home but with my own twist.
I love roasted garlic so decided to add that instead of just rubbing fresh garlic cloves on top of toasted bread. I’ve also seen people add burrata and decided to try that and was instantly sold. Just don’t make the same mistake I did by forgetting to take out your burrata from the fridge ahead of time but I was chasing daylight so I had to make do 🥲 also, if you can’t find/don’t have burrata— just shred fresh mozzarella and mix it with heavy cream and a bit of salt to get stacciatella (the creamy inside of the burrata).
ANYWAY, I loved this so much I made it 3 days in a row 🥹 it’s a lot easier than it looks and I hope you like it!

Ramadan recipe #4 Creamy Tom Yum Inspired Udon @fa Ramadan recipe #4 Creamy Tom Yum Inspired Udon @farahjeats 
Save and share this quick and easy recipe. If you love Tom Yum, you’ll love this one! 
I originally set out to recreate the Tom Yum Udon from FamilyMart back in Malaysia but didn’t have certain ingredients to complete the experience. I also felt like eating something creamy and so that led me to this particular recipe. I was going to use heavy cream but coconut milk made this even better (you can definitely use heavy cream instead if you’re not a fan of coconut flavored things). So maybe this udon is actually a mix between Tom Yum and Tom Khai Ghai which are two Thai soups that I absolutely love so I’d consider this recipe a winner ☺️
Tom Yum has a special place in my heart too because it’s definitely a must order for me and my family if we get Thai food. Safe to say, this udon recipe has been a repeat in my house the past few weeks and will definitely be part of our rotation this Ramadan 💛

Ramadan recipe #3 15-Minutes Egg Drop Soup with “crab” sticks @farahjeats 
Growing up, no matter how hot Malaysia is— we’ll always have soup at least once a week. Mostly a weekly request from my dad and something he looks forward to. So my mom will make different kinds of soups weekly. 
Now I associate soups as something comforting and the best pick me up. This is an easy and quick go to soup recipe for my house. It’s always a crowd pleaser too! Definitely making this more often during Ramadan ♥️
Although not traditional, I like seasoning with fish sauce because of the flavor it adds to the soup but feel free to skip and use soy sauce or salt instead.

Ramadan recipe #2 Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal @fara Ramadan recipe #2 Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal @farahjeats 
Save and share this recipe! This was inspired by the viral recipe created by @callascleaneats. 
This cookie dough baked oatmeal will be perfect for suhoor or as a healthy breakfast if you’re not fasting. I made this a lot the past few months for Mike’s breakfast and he loves it. I’m definitely planning to make this the night before and heat it up for our suhoor once Ramadan starts.
In the original viral recipe, she used a banana but I don’t like bananas. So I used medjool dates instead. More details on this on my site.

Ramadan recipe #1: Malaysian-style Soy Sauce Chick Ramadan recipe #1: Malaysian-style Soy Sauce Chicken (ayam masak kicap) @farahjeats 
Save and share this easy and delicious chicken recipe. If you enjoyed my Malaysian style soy sauce eggs, you’ll absolutely love this one! 
This fried chicken simmered in a savory and slightly sweet sauce is great on its own and so SO good with rice. It’s a family favorite especially among my nieces and nephews!
This dish is quite popular in neighboring countries too although it may be slightly different. There are so many variations of this dish with each family having their own take on it. This is a version of the dish that I’ve been making a lot over the years because of how easy and simple it is. 
Some recipes add potatoes to this dish too but I like keeping it simple.
For the sauce it’s sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, curry powder and rice vinegar. Full measurements with detailed instructions on my site!

One of the last meals my mom made for me before I flew back to Chicago was this fragrant coconut rice and rendang ayam. Rendang is basically a spicy dry coconut curry. Sometimes my mom uses beef but for this particular recipe, she used chicken. It can take hours to make especially if you use beef so that the meat is extra soft and tender. I like recreating recipes like this when I’m feeling homesick and to feel closer to my mom and family.
So this Ramadan, on top of easy recipes that I know you’ll love— I’ll also be sharing recipes that have a special place in my heart Mondays - Fridays. First recipe goes live this Monday. Stay tuned ☺️💛

Save and share this delicious recipe! It’s such a simple but perfect meal that anyone will love. The fried chicken is light and crispy and goes well with seasoned rice and the spicy mayo sauce.
