    Green onions, roasted garlic thats mashed, some greek yogurt (plain), and pepper. Sometimes like actual roasted vegetbles (think stuff found in a fajita skillet), and just loaded with all the good for you.

    Potato is like the blank canvas of AWESOME.

    I had half a baked potato last night with half a tbsp of butter and some salt. Loved it and it only had 200 cal. You can still use the "unhealthy" stuff and enjoy your potato.

    Cheese, brocolli, sour cream, salt & pepper

    Another alternative if to fix that potato craving is to cube them and toss them in EVOO with some salt and pepper, roast until crispy and delicious. :) mmm, now i want roasted potatos

    exactly-very true! I made mine loaded (sweet potatoes) last night and it was about 240calories total (for two halves) with chicken, bacon and smothered with cheese :) I love finding healthy meals that make you feel like you are splurging!

    Oh, I also like to toss a basted egg on a baked potato. Fried would be fine too but I prefer the consistency of the yolk when it's basted. Now I want a potato...

    This with the previous post of avocado, horseradish and salsa made me hungry =)

    I am going to have a baked potato for lunch. Normally I would load it with EVERYTHING, cheese, bacon, ham, sour cream, chives, butter, sauteed onions etc.

    I do not like plain potatoes at all. What are some healthy but delicious alternatives for toppings?

    Also, is it okay to eat a baked potato like a couple times a week or once a week? I've been craving them lately!

    You can still use some of those toppings, just be more sensible about it. There's nothing wrong with chives, they're an herb. Load up on chives. Skip the bacon and ham, as it's loaded with fat and sodium. Use a SPRINKLING of lowfat cheddar cheese with some steamed broccoli. Use about a Tbsp of light or fat free sour cream instead of a 1/2 cup of the full fat stuff (as was my custom before MFP). The onions are still okay, too, but I would sautee them in a little EVOO instead of butter, or steam them instead of sauteeing.

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