    I like cottage cheese and salsa on baked potatoes. Weird, I know, but it's good.

    As for spices, I have several I use liberally.

    Tony Chachere's Creole spice mix
    Curry powder
    Any spicy seasoning salt
    Love, love, love fresh garlic or fresh ginger
    Herbs can wake up the flavors in other foods too--cilantro is a favorite.

    On baked potatoes and steak, I mince garlic, cilantro, add olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and red chili flakes. Kind of like a chimichurri - so good.

    chives and lemon
    rosemary are both great with potatoes

    I religiously use these things (not all spices, but all in my spice cabinet!) and I'm talking, every single thing I make has these things on them:

    -Garlic Powder
    -Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
    -Cayenne Pepper (ground)
    -Red Pepper
    -Chili Powder
    -Red Chili Powder
    -a pinch of salt
    -Seasoned Salt
    -Uniodized sea salt (ground)
    -Olive Oil
    -Red Wine Vinegar
    -Lemon powder (not used as often as the rest!)

    There is an excellent reference type book called The Flavor Bible. It tells you what goes with what. It suggests spices, side dishes and many other food combinations. I think it was about $15 - 19 from Amazon. I use it quite often. You might see if your library has it for a look-see before buying.
