These Pulled Pork Loaded Baked Potatoes are a perfect way to use up that leftover BBQ pulled pork!
These Pulled Pork-loaded baked potatoes are out of this world like my TGI Friday's Potato Skins. They are hearty enough to be the main course and paired with a salad or slaw you have a delicious meal.
Pulled pork is absolutely delicious for a summertime barbecue or just a regular family dinner. But I'm telling you there is something extra special about piling it on a starchy potato. Add a drizzle of barbecue sauce some cheese and a dollop of sour cream. The best part of this recipe is dinner is on the table in a flash.
If you need a good pulled pork recipe my Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches are easy and fantastic! So I try to make a few different meals out of it. Or else I will toss it in the freezer for a quick meal another day. Whenever I have leftovers of chicken pork or beef, we just pop it on top of a potato and you got yourself a quick meal. You may also like my Chinese BBQ Pork piled on top.
This is ridiculously good, and a perfect quick meal for those busy weeknights. The countless number of toppings you can pile on is endless.
The trick to making these potatoes is rubbing olive oil over them and sprinkling them with kosher salt and baking them on a sheet pan in the oven. Gets the skin nice and crispy.

My nutritional info is just an estimate as it states. The potatoes may be different sizes, some bbq sauce has less calories, etc and not to mention its just guessing on the pulled pork ingredients.
1200 calories per serving??? Is that correct??
The BBQ sauce is optional really. If you make my pulled pork (via the link) there is already bbq sauce in it. If you make your own or purchase it you may want to add BBQ sauce to it.
So I see BBQ sauce listed as an ingredient but not mentioned in the steps. Guesiing you mix it with the Pulled Pork before adding to the baked potato?
No need to cover them with foil. 🙂
Looks great want to try it. So we don't cover the potatoes with foil?
