Baked potatoes - what's your top topping? (mushroom, tuna, pizza)

[southdown]

Please give me some new inspiration for baked potato toppings!

They are a great weekday meal but I would like some fresh ideas. Our family standard faves are;

• plain ol' grated cheese & butter
• shrimp sour cream/mayo (kids like it in in "pink sauce" - mayo & ketchup!!)
• tuna sour cream/mayo (mine has pickles in)
• bacon, mushroom and asparagus
• sour cream and chives
• leftover pasta sauces!

What's your top topping?

Ohhhhh boy! Potatoes!!! This was what I craved when pregnant with my twins. If Wendy's was out, watch out! LOL

I like:

butter
butter & sour cream (& chives)
chopped up chicken with sour cream
(all of the above with salt and fresh ground pepper) *drool*
chili & cheese

Pretty simple, really. But Oh So Good!!!

Butter. Pure and simple. Just buttah. Oh, and salt and pepper (but I don't think they count!)

Butter, salt/pepper, sour cream!!!

[SunnyKayak]

real butter , salt, pepper and chives anything else and your not enhancing the taste of the potatoe but trying to cover it up

I always use butter or sour cream. Mostly butter (Parkay)

Sometimes, I add shredded cheese to it while its still hot. It comes out perfect and cheesy

It depends on what I have on hand, but I usually enjoy it with butter/margarine and salt/pepper. If I have cheddar cheese and bacon bits, it makes it extra yummy!

Have you tried making like a pizza potato? Maybe some pizza sauce, with mozzarella cheese and chopped up pepperoni or beef. Just an idea.

Baked beans and strong, grated cheddar cheese. Mmmmmmmmm.

Here's what goes into mine, everybody. It's butter, sour cream, butter, chives, cool ranch, butter, bacon bits, more butter, grated sharp cheddar, even more butter...................

Hey, case...do you get thank you notes from the dairy association??

Sometimes I make stuffed baked 'taters:

scooped out potato, cheese (whatever's on hand - usually 2 or 3 kinds - swiss, mozzarella, maybe some jack, etc.), butter, a bit of milk, onion and garlic powders, with paprika and parsley on top. Yum.
