23 Meats That Go Well with Baked Potatoes

The importance of serving the right meat with baked potatoes cannot be stressed enough.
There are a lot of factors that dictate what meat should be served with a baked potato. The first is the size of the potato. The larger the potato, the more meat you'll want to serve with it.
For example, if you bake a small potato and top it with three strips of bacon, you won't likely feel full.
If you bake a large potato and top it with three strips of bacon, you're going to feel satisfied but also probably be hungry again soon after. With this in mind, it's important to always consider the size of the potato before choosing your meat.
Another factor is whether or not the potato has been stuffed with anything. If your baked potato has been stuffed with broccoli and cheese, for example, then it's best to avoid meats like chicken and sausage, as these will just overpower the flavor of whatever stuffing you've chosen to put inside your baked potato. Instead, opt for something more subtle like bacon or steak.
