Which peppered gravy mix should I use?

Well, if you’re looking for made from scratch quality (and who isn’t?) then go with Southeastern Mills Baking and Gravy Mixes for the absolute best flavor. Plus, they’re super convenient and make meal prep easy during this crazy busy holiday season. And as you’ll see in this breakfast potato recipe, they can be used in unique and non-traditional ways to complement any meal!

How to prepare peppered gravy

Follow the package directions, but for Southeastern Mills Peppered Gravy (which I recommend), add water to a saucepan and whisk in the gravy mix until combined. Bring to a boil and simmer for a minute or two until the mixture thickens into the perfect peppered gravy.

How to cook baked potatoes

Oven: Scrub and dry potatoes. Prick holes in them and place in a 400-degree oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking for doneness with a fork. (Cook time will vary depending on potato size and oven.)

Microwave: Scrub and dry potatoes, then prick holes in them. Place in an unsealed freezer bag and cook on high about 6 minutes, then check for doneness. (Cook time will vary depending on potato size and microwave power.)

How to make stuffed breakfast potatoes

It’s so easy! Carefully split open the hot baked potatoes and start layering in the ingredients:

Per cooked potato:

one pat of butter
2 tablespoons sausage crumbles
2 tablespoons peppered gravy
1 scrambled egg
2 more tablespoons peppered gravy
3 tablespoons cheese
2 strips bacon, crumbled

Then bake the potatoes for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped chives and a spoonful of peppered gravy. Salt and pepper to taste.

It’s such a delicious way to serve baked potatoes for breakfast.

Can breakfast stuffed potatoes be prepared in advance?

Yep. You could bake the potatoes the night before and store in the refrigerator until morning, assembling then. Or you could completely assemble the potatoes the night before and just reheat the filled boats the next day in the oven. Either way, because they’re starting chilled, they may take longer than 15 minutes to really heat through.

They’ll always be the best when you bake and fill the same day, but for busy holiday mornings, the convenience of prep-ahead breakfast recipes can’t be denied.

Variations for breakfast baked potato boats

Add green peppers, onions or mushrooms.
Try Monterey Jack, Gruyere, American or Fontina cheese instead of Cheddar.
