Red miso, the saltiest version of the nutritious soybean paste Japanese staple, has the most depth and boldness of flavor of miso varieties because it has been fermented the longest time. The miso in this recipe removes the need for salt and adds an umami element to the creamy baked potatoes.

1 teaspoon red miso
2 tablespoon avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon hot curry powder
