A humble counter on the edge of Ballard goes all in on a most unlikely concept: loaded vegan baked potatoes. Papas Hot Potatoes smothers the common russet (or sweet potato upgrade) with cashew sour cream, assertive salsa, and faux queso the color of ball-park mustard. Some customers get carried away with the roster of complimentary add-ons—garlic “aioli,” roasted mushrooms, pickled jalapenos. No judgment, especially when piling on the smoky-sweet coconut chips that do a remarkable bacon impersonation.
