Rub the potatoes with oil and salt and bake at 425F for 50-60 minutes. To save time, microwave them for 8 minutes first, then finish in the oven for 25 minutes. Save the other half of the cheese and corn for Tuesday.

Serving note: Use 2 bags of riced cauliflower (24 oz total), 4 eggs, 1/2 yellow onion, 2 tomatoes, the leftover corn, 2 avocados (1 each, halved or sliced) and the remaining 4 oz smoked cheese for sprinkling. Cook the cauliflower rice uncovered over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes so it browns rather than steams.
