I have a friend who loves baked potatoes but confided in me not long ago that the reason she didn't serve them up for her family's dinner was that she could never think what to serve them with instead of just as a side to steak!
There are so many different baked potato topping ideas that this admission actually left me lost for words, momentarily at least. One of the reasons I love baked potatoes (aside from the fact that they're yummy) is that I use them to turn leftovers into another meal!
The humble baked potato goes with so many different things that I think it's one of the most versatile meals you can have. I love baked potatoes and I think they should be part of everyone's menu plan especially because they are such a budget friendly meal
I have a number of recipes I use to turn my leftovers into another meal and baked potatoes is one way to go -
These dishes are all meals that we eat which I will also use over a baked potato to get another meal out of it. The bolognaise baked potato is probably my family's favorite topping out of our usual leftovers, but they all taste pretty good.
My father used to do shift work and take his own lunch to work, one of the things he often took was a couple of potatoes and a can of one of these items -
They made great baked potatoes and are also a great option for a family meal if you want to cut down on your meat intake or your child has just announced they're vegetarian.
Other vegetarian baked potato topping ideas which work very well as a work lunch option include -
You can use basic toppings such as just grated cheese (something my dad loves) to leftovers as I've mentioned above. This list is long, but I'm sure there's options I've missed as I don't think there's anything that can't be put onto a baked potato!

i love baked potatoes and never have trouble finding a topping though I confess is baked beans with garlic
Yum - this was my dinner last night! I love just throwing on whatever random toppings I have in the fridge - spring onions, creamed corn, avocado and cheese are always good!
