What do you put on a baked potato?

I was still hungry after eating dinner, so I threw a baked potato in the microwave and then added some toppings. I have been known to make some pretty wild baked potato creations but tonight it was simple. Butter, garlic and herb seasoning mixture, sour cream, cheese and a dash of Wash-your-sister-sauce. That got me thinking. There's endless combos of what you would put on your baked potato, and I got curious. So tell me myLot, what is your favorite or go to baked potato topping?

@thislittlepennyearns — I’ll even use BBQ sauce. Why not, people eat BBQ potato chips!

@FourWalls I do that too. What BBQ sauce do you like? Do they sell sweet baby Ray's up there?

My favorite ever was pulled pork, but my go to is cheddar cheese and sour cream.

You cant go wrong with sour cream, but I agree pulled pork is the best.

Mine are fairly ordinary: butter, sour cream, bacon, and cheese.

I thought about bacon, but I had already had bacon today.

The better question is what do I, or what won't I put on a baked potato. I love all kinds of things on one. Sour cream, butter, bacon bits or real bacon. Hamburger. Manwich meat. Cheese. Onions. You name it. I love pretty much anything on a baked potato.

Bacon bits are an abomination.

@thislittlepennyearns Nah. Nice in a pinch. I don't cook bacon often enough to have fresh ones and I love bacon bits in a salad which we eat very often.

For baked potatoes, I like toppings with cheese and corned beef... After finishing it, my stomach felt more comfortable

Corned beef? On a tater. I guess it makes sense because corned beef and hash.

I only ever have them stuffed if we're out. Otherwise they're just an accompaniment to a roast of some sort.

Just depends....but usually sour cream and cheese. We have a place in the mall that has specialty baked potatoes and they make a really good one with bbq sauce, chicken and cheese - so that is a good choice.

My family loves twice baked potatoes so I do make those for them. They are also handy to prepare and freeze, and take out what amounts I need when we want them. I have been known to doctor up a baked potato, using things like chicken or turkey taco meat. Diced ham and sharp cheddar, shredded chicken or turkey with grilled onions and Swiss cheese… a baked potato is a blank slate, and it’s fun to use different toppings for them.

I agree with sour cream and salty cheese. I would also put some baked ham over it and that's it. Another good idea would be mayonnaise: )

The normal butter & sour cream with a dash of season all nothing fancy.
