    Bacon is always a good extra!

    I make twice baked potatoes a lot, which is when you bake them like normal, then cut the potatoes in 1/2, scoop out the insides into a bowl, mix in 1/2 and 1/2 (or milk), cheese, chopped up broccoli and bacon. Then you refill the potato skins, top with some more cheese then reheat until the cheese is melted. This topped with sour cream would be great!

    Yes, Bacon bits are good. Sour cream and chives is another popular one.

    Cheese (with bacon bits and/or sour cream) can be OK.

    When in London (UK), I found a "fast food" place that soled "jacket potatoes" (what we call baked potatoes).

    The place was called: Enough 2 feed an elephant.

    They had only baked potatoes, with a choice of something like 35 toppings. They had the above.

    They also had baked beans, chili, cottage cheese, spinach (cooked or raw with salad dressing).

    My favorite was chili and cheddar cheese.

    According to the web site (which is not theirs), they now have sandwiches and cakes and other stuff.

    Well try this, you can put cheese, and butter in it. It tastes really good! First when you bake the potato, you cut it in half and put in the cheese or butter. Then you wrap both halfs of the potato in foil and leave it there for like 5 minutes or less. Try it your going to love it! I promise you~

    Bacon, slices of ham. Scramble up an egg and serve it on top. Chives or green onions. Grilled onions. "Pico de Gallo" made with diced tomatoes, yellow and green onions, cilantro and a bit of oil and vinegar.

    Butter.

    Boil some chicen breast in garlic powder and italian seasonings. Shred it and spread it.

    Sliced hard boiled eggs.

    In short, if you can eat it, you can probably find a way to top a potato with it.

    They are good with just butter and cheese too. Some people like brocoli and cheese. Just about anything works. Believe it or not chili and cheese is good too.
