I'm craving a good baked potato but I don't know what to "fill" it with to make it more of a meal. I usually top my tatoe with some crock pot chili but I don't have any on hand right now.

What's everyone's favorite toppings/fillings for a baked potato??

I'm wanting this to be dinner most likely so depending on what I fill it with the potato itself may be a good sized one just so I'm not starving. hahaha

Thanks for suggestions! :)

    Cottage cheese!!!!! It is my favorite in a baked potato. Add some spices that you like, too. I like garlic powder, onion powder, season salt. Mmmmmm.

    I like cottage cheese and a little fat free cheddar. I avoid salt (cottage cheese has enough sodium) and just pepper to taste from there.

    That's what I'm having for lunch actually! I put two wedges of WW Jalapeno cheese on it, let it melt in a little, then add a bunch of salsa. It's soooooo good. You could use Laughing Cow also, I just like the Jalapeno WW one for the potato!

    Also cottage cheese and a little bit of bacon bits is good.
  • Tuna with a little low fat mayo??? I love baked beans on my baked potatoes... Just make sure they are low salt/sugar ones...

    mmm I love baked potatoes... just had one for dinner! I use a low cal butter alternative, shredded cheddar, little bit of light ranch dressing, black beans, and salsa. I rub a little olive oil on the outside and sprinkle the skin w/ a little salt and garlic powder before baking. so good

    I'm boring....I just like a little butter or "buttery spread" and sea salt. But I eat the skin too, so maybe that makes me a little more adventurous?! lol

    Some spritzes of "butter" spray and a couple of tablespoons of tzatsiki sauce that I get at Costco (Greek yogurt, cucumbers, garlic...yum! 25 calories per tablespoon). Really yummy!!!

    Campbell's chicken gumbo lite soup!!! (Actually I bake pork chops in it, and then spoon some on baked potato - skin onlyl) It may have salt in it, but for me, the concern is sugar. You also don't need much, it has a lot of flavor.
