Best toppings for baked potatoes

Pan-fried semen.

What?

I know I’m late to this, but my favorite baked potato topping is still cheese and coleslaw. A lot more popular in the UK than here in the US, for some reason.

I’m late, too, but…

If you don’t care how much fat goes on your plate then I recommend this;

slice some onions, sautee them in lots of butter until they are nearly carmelized, add lots of white american cheese, and make sort of a cheesy onion sauce.

Fluff the potatoes with salt and more butter, and add the cheesy onion sauce.

Hmm, interesting. May try.

Ranch dressing. It’s a perennial favorite in my family.

Of course, we live in Alabama, so we put Ranch dressing on anything that stands still for long enough :wink:

I’ve found malt vinegar adds some flavor without adding fat and lots of additional calories. I admit it isn’t as good as a potato loaded with sour cream, butter and bacon bits, though.

Don’t forget the sweet-potatoes for dessert!

Toppings like cinnamon, brown sugar, marshmallows, whipped cream, sausage, bacon, maple syrup, all kinds of stuff.

Surprisingly, pesto. If you can get over the :dubious: reaction to green potatoes, it’s delicious.

Also, butter and curry powder.

Chili is good, and can be low fat.

Also surprisingly, crabmeat mixed with butter and cream cheese.

When I have tried to go extremely low-fat, I have eaten pototoes with just salsa.

This is brilliant. I’m totally ganking this recipe.

I never thought of doing that but it does sound good. I made lots of pesto this summer and froze some of it in cubes and they’re probably the perfect size for 2 potatoes. I’ll try it once I recover from Thanksgiving calories.

Coleslaw? That’s pretty bizarre, but I love slaw and am going to have to try it sometime.

Diced tomatoes. I never would have thought of it, but they have a baked potato bar at work from time to time, and that was one of the toppings available. They’re really good when combined with broccoli, cheese sauce, sauted mushrooms and just a bit of sour cream.

Oh, snap! I have all of those things, except the crabmeat.

I now have:

Chives, onions (yellow and green,) mushrooms, salsa, light garden veggie cream cheese, light sour cream, pesto, butter, curry powder, shredded cheeses, black olives and…don’t freak out…Hummus??? I didn’t buy it specifically for the potatoes, but I sure am gonna try it!

Pickled jalapenos, they come in a can. They’re not as hot as fresh jalapenos but they are very tasty and low cal, also great in an omelette.

That’s why tuna was invented :smiley:

Any sauce that you would put on pasta - even bottle ones.
Same is true of salsa.
Refried beans.
Fried noodles or Thai fried garlic/shallots for crispiness.

I like putting french onion dip that you make with a packet of french onion soup mixed with sour cream on my baked potatos

On the SAME baked potato (if possible)…

A little butter
Some cheese
Thousand Island Dressing
Chopped onions
Chili con carne
Ketchup (catsup)

Wash it down with a glass of chocolate milk!!!

A little taco filling plus sour cream and hot sauce.

Sauerkraut and bratwurst.

Sour cream (Tofutti for me), salsa and guacamole. Like a little taco in a potato. (I’m vegan so I don’t do the hamburger part)

I also like Ranch dressing.

That hummus sounds good.

And I really like the butter and curry powder idea above. I’m definitely trying that.
