I made AWESOME baked potatoes for dinner one night; they were big enough an loaded enough, that they were a meal in itself!

But I can't remember for the life of me what we put on them other than the norm of butter, sour cream, and bacon bits.

What do you like on YOUR baked potato?

What can I do next?

Nothing but a pound of good old butter. I am pregnant right now and just getting over the horrible 'morning' sickness and for about 2 weeks straight all I could stomach was a baked potato with a ton of butter. My husband got really good at finding potatoes the size of my head so they really were a meal all on its own YUMMY
I have a friend that puts Mayo on his and its foul in my opinion but he swears by it

A-1 sauce and a touch of melted butter

Or I like chopped chicken breast, broccoli, carrots and a touch of cheese melted on top, no butter this time.

LOL, you made them the other night but you cannot remember what you put on them!!!! Hmmmm was there wine with this dinner??? J/K

I actually like salsa on mines. And you know a fresh mango salsa would probably add some nice flavor to a baked potato too. I need to try adding that one too!

A normal everyday baked potato would just be butter, sour cream and chives, but my favorite is broccoli and cheese.
I know it sounds weird but I also like veggies and italian dressing on my potato now and then ( veggies is a bag of frozen mixed veg and it has carrots and cauliflower and I forget what else)
My mom makes twice baked potatoes that are to die for, She scoops out the inside when it is baked then adds grated carrot, butter, sour cream and puts it back in, wrapped in foil and bakes it again...so so tasty.
When I was a kid, especially during the summer when money was tight we would make meals out of baked potatoes and would have build your own baked potato bars...I have found that almost anything is good on a baked potato...even salsa and shredded cheese. I do not eat them very often now...but you have made me hungry for one today = )

Depends on my mood, what I'm serving it with, or if it's just dinner, or what's in the house. :)
I like a little butter, more sour cream, just a couple drops of Heinz 57 or A1, REAL bacon that I crumble up, and cheese. I love shredded cheddar cheese! I need green onions. If I'm serving it with a steak sometimes I'll cook down some onions and mushrooms in butter and serve over the steaks and also in my potato (though I won't put additional butter in the potato if I do that). It's yum! Also, one day I'll cook bbq shredded pork in a slow cooker (I use the McCormicks bbq packet and that recipe), and serve with a salad and some fried potato slices. The next day, I'll bake potatoes and put the leftover bbq, cheese, and green onions on them as the next meal. Delish! And yeah, chicken broccoli and cheese potatoes are nice. :) If you want ideas, look at Jason's Deli menu and see what they serve.....I remember they rocked my world back in the day. (Don't have one here, but when I was in school Jason's was a weekly event).
