Potatoes are pretty much the ultimate comfort food in my world. I love all kinds of potatoes, baked, mashed or fried, if it’s a potato I’m going to love it! When it comes to comfort food, nothing hits the spot quite like a warm, fluffy baked potato loaded with delicious toppings.

And if you’re looking to elevate this classic dish, there’s no better way than by adding tender, juicy pulled pork.

Meet the pulled pork baked potato — a mouthwatering combination that brings together the smoky, savory goodness of slow-cooked pork with the satisfying comfort of a baked potato.

I had some leftover pulled pork after smoking a pork roast on the Traeger last weekend and I can only serve pulled pork sandwiches so many times before my family starts to complain. We have a local BBQ restaurant that serves the most amazing Pulled Pork Baked Potatoes so I figured how hard could it be to recreate them at home.

This is such an easy supper, just toss a couple potatoes on the grill or in the oven, add the toppings and in no time you have a satisfying little dinner.

Pulled pork baked potatoes aren’t just delicious; they’re also incredibly versatile. They work well as a main course for a cozy family dinner, a crowd-pleaser at a barbecue, or even as part of a tailgating spread.

The combination of tender pork, creamy potato, and tangy toppings will have everyone coming back for seconds!

What is a Pulled Pork Baked Potato?

A Pulled Pork Baked Potato is a delicious, hearty dish that combines the classic comfort of a baked potato with flavorful pulled pork. The potato is baked until it is soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy skin on the outside. It is then sliced open and topped with tender, juicy pulled pork that has been slow-cooked and shredded, often in a savory barbecue sauce.

Additional toppings can include shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, coleslaw, or even a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce. This dish is a great way to use leftover pulled pork and offers a combination of smoky, savory flavors with the creamy texture of the baked potato.

It’s perfect for a filling lunch, dinner, or a unique addition to a barbecue menu.

Ingredients

• Baked potato
• Sour cream
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Pulled pork
• Chopped green onions
• Barbeque sauce

How to make a Pulled Pork Baked Potato

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the potatoes, then pierce each potato a few times with a fork. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes are baking, warm the pulled pork in a skillet over medium heat. Keep warm on low heat.

Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly before cutting them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork, and if desired, add a little butter for extra creaminess.

Add a dollop of sour cream.

Top each potato with a generous portion of the BBQ pulled pork. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the pork and allow it to melt.

Add a sprinkle of chopped green onions, and any other desired toppings like coleslaw, bacon bits, or jalapeños.

Serve the pulled pork baked potatoes while they’re hot.
