YUM! That sounds great! Here are a few suggestions: cheese, sour cream, broccoli, bacon bits, butter, chili. Don't forget the basic spices too- salt, pepper, parsley, etc. Also, if you want to make it more of a meal, I went to a part recently where the hostess had pepperoni, cheese, and marinara sauce piled on a potato. It was GREAT. Have fun and good luck!
bacon bits, cheese, chili, sour cream, onions, ranch
Oh yeah!
Grilled meats or seafood will help it to be a main course.
Onions, raw and grilled.
Mushrooms, sauteed.
Cheeses, grated.
Sour cream.
Bacon.
Just use your imagination! Think about what everyone likes!
Of course you have to typical toppings such as butter, sour cream, bacon bits, and chives. I'd also offer a variety of shredded cheeses and / or cheese sauce, chili, chunk chicken and / or tuna, salsa, crab or lobster salad, fresh herbs (chopped), jalapenos, chopped broccoli, cauliflower and / or shredded carrots, small shrimp, ground beef or turkey crumbles, marinara and Alfredo sauces, diced ham, sliced mushrooms, diced pepperoni.....the list is endless. Whatever you have on hand or know your family especially likes in general would be great on a baked potato. What a fun and yummy idea for a party.
I remember a steak place in Tempe, AZ that would bring out a platter with all different ingredients to choose from......Green onions, sour cream, bacon bits, shredded cheese, broccoli, cottage cheese, tomatoes, salsa, sprouts, sunflower seeds...and I'm sure there was more but can't remember right now.
Chopped ham, crispy bacon or bacon bits, chopped olives, tomatoes,onion,jalapeno pepper or green chillies,chili,shredded cheese, sour cream,butter or margarine. There are so many things that are good on a baked potato, I am sure I haven't listed them all.
I like broccoli and cheddar cheese myself. Invite me over, I'm starved!
Salsa is good too. And low in calories.
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Bacon
Chives
Chili
Broccoli
Taco meat
Butter
Cheese, broccoli, sour cream, butter, bacon bits, chili and chives. It may not be enough for a main course. Maybe w/ hotdogs or hamburgers? Or do some veggie dishes w/ it.
I have a unique idea for you. I saw this on the Food network.Instead of a bake potato bar, do a mashed potato bar. Bake the spuds and then scoop out the pulp into martini glasses (or other depending on what you have on hand. People above me listed everyone kind of topping there is- so no need to repeat them. Set them around the table or buffet and let people mix up their favorite variations.
Good luck!
Salsa! cheese, jalapenos, sour cream, cheez whiz! broccoli, chopped tomatoes, ground beef, curry sauce. The possibilities are endless!
Great biz'ness idea!
brocolli, sour cream, bacon bits, shredded cheese, chili, chives, smart balance (after putting on the smart balance, add garlic and/or onion powder), blue cheese dressing (this is real good on a baked potato), parsley, mushrooms. All of these toppings are great on baked potatoes. Enjoy!!
Butter, Sour Cream, Cheese, brocoli, salsa, chili, bacon bits, salt, pepper
