    Blend chives (or fresh basil or oregano), half a cup of cottage cheese, some salt or lemon juice (or both), add some fresh pepper on top.

    well, I'm sure I'm gonna get flack for this, but when I go out to eat dinner, I ALWAYS GET A BAKED POTATO... I ask for the BUTTER AND SOUR CREAM on the side so I can CONTROL the amount I put on....usually I end up putting all of it on...LOL...they serve pretty good sized potatos, ...then I eat the whole thing, skin and all...FIRST, BEFORE I EAT ANYTHING ELSE....I usually don't use salt....I go out sometimes 2-3 times a week...I just adjust the rest of my day, AND ENJOY...and I still am losing....

    Butter and cheddar :) But I don't eat the skins as I don't like them. My parents call me a freak and always say they are the best bit but I think they taste bitter and nasty!

    I eat potatoes often. I just put a couple teaspoons of smart balance light with flax seed butter on it with a dash of salt.

    To up my protein I often have Quorn pieces, baked beans and cheese. Or avocado, mozarella and tomato go well with baked potato. On the other hand just some salad with dressing is good too :)

    Do you mean the one that I think about from time to time? I load it with everything that I can think of. What a sweet mental picture it makes.

    But I'm on a ketogenic diet. Last time I ordered a baked, stuffed potato, it wasn't nearly as good as the imagined one, so I lost interest in them in the real world.

    LOL

    Baked beans, strong cheddar cheese, chorizo.
  • I do not use sour cream anymore. Substitute PLAIN, NO FAT Greek Yogurt instead. High protein, no fat and tastes just like sour cream (only better!).

    I tend to stay away from potatoes due to calorie content.... but sometimes i treat myself to a small one with cottage cheese.... cottage cheese is super low cal and fat and is a good filler!!!

    I like mine lightly salted, or with butter and salt. Once in a while, I add broccoli to it.
  • I love a loaded baked potato as well but now I load mine a little differently. I use these items:

    -chopped up green onions (raw)
    -chopped mushrooms (raw)
    -chopped jalapeno (raw not from a jar, for a little kick)
    -Nutritional Yeast (this has a buttery, cheesy flavor and excludes the need for, of course, cheese and butter)
    -avocado (raw and this is high in good dietary fats)
    -sea salt (sparingly)
    -coarsely ground pepper

    I have found that using raw unprocessed foods as toppings are making me feel fuller faster which is great if you find yourself craving an item repetitively.

    I keep meaning to try that but I'm afraid if I don't like it I've cooked a potato for over an hour and I've ruined it. I do like greek yogurt..

    Maybe we'll make an extra potato and if it's fine we save the other one for some other purpose...

    I am actually kind of a purist with my baked potatoes. Real butter and sour cream is all I need.

    I often plan meals around what will match up with baked potatoes, I love them so much!

    Cheese and Beans, no butter. :)

    Veggie chili :) Hot and Spicy sauce with salad is one of my favourites though! :)

    I also like a baked sweet potato with a tiny bit of real butter, crushed pineapple, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.

    sounds SO GOOD!

    Mix it the first time - half sour cream and half plain yogurt. That's what I did for my husband at first and now he actually prefers the yogurt.

    I think the best part of the baked potato is the skin. I scrub a big Idaho, brush with EVOO and sprinkle with salt. Roast with NO foil. Scrape out the white part (feed to hubby) and put a bit of butter, sour cream, and sauteed onions & mushrooms inside and eat it like a sandwich.

    hummus, iceberg, grated carrot, peppers, sweetcorn and spring onion, cracked black pepper and a tiny drizzle of sweet chili sauce. Too much ruins it

    I love jacket potato with tuna and salad cream light, with a salad. Or with baked beans. Or with low fat cottage cheese. Or philadelphia light and coleslaw. So many options!

    Baked potato with the skin on was my dinner last night. I always top mine with seasoning salt and butter spray. I splurged,and put one ounce of grated sharp cheddar cheese. it was delicious.

    My favorite is a low fat chile and cheese topper. Other than that tons of sauteed vegetables, onions, peppers, and mushrooms are really good.

    Just a little butter and salt and pepper.
