Cheese Baked Potato

What is it?

Whole russet potato, baked until the skin tightens a bit and the center turns fluffy, split open and topped with warm cheese sauce. There's no bacon, sour cream, or chives here, so it stays pared down to two parts: potato and cheese. At Wendy's, it's the simplest baked potato on the menu and sits below the loaded versions in price and toppings. The sauce is liquid enough to seep into the potato's interior, while the skin keeps a little chew. It's served as a side or, depending on appetite, a light meal.
