Spuds and Suds Party

Keeping with my new year's resolution to throw more dinner parties, I had my first this weekend. We needed an excuse to open a magnum of beer and I thought a baked potato bar would be the perfect side kick. A great casual dinner part to get my feet wet.

The idea started with a kraft paper table cloth that I would write on...

I wrote what all the toppings were, which wasn't necessary for the most part. 

Except for the case of sour cream and Greek yogurt.

The potatoes were cooked before hand, with olive oil and sea salt on the skins and then we wrapped them in foil and placed in the cooler (or in this case, warmer) until guests arrived. (Lower corner)

Potatoes: the girls.

And a couple of the boys' creations. So interesting to see everyone's tot styling. 

Overall, a super easy party to throw and I can't wait to think up my next one. I also would like to add that I will never have another baked potato without caramelized onions. Amazing.
