You say potato, I also say potato. No one says potahto, not even British people (I checked). But no matter how you say it, I am positive you have a favorite way to enjoy a piping hot spud fresh oot the oven. And because we here at Sporked love to hear about y’all favorite food combos, we took to Twitter (ahem, X) to ask you how you top a baked potato, and let me just say, y’all DELIVERED. So without further ado, here’s our list of the top ten tuber toppings according to you(ber).
- Sour Cream and Onion
-
Butter, shredded cheddar, sour cream, chives. 🤤 – @adq1295
Love Love LOVE this on a potato—makes it taste like sour cream and onion chips. Related: Our Ranking of the Best Sour Cream
- Simple Yet Elegant
-
Butter, salt, pepper. Perfect. 😉 – @justinaug09
Sometimes, a little goes a long way. Slather your potato in butter, salt, and pepper and you truly can’t go wrong. Related: Our Ranking of the Best Butter
- Wendy’s Fave
-
Wendy’s chilli. – @GlypheNotes
@GlypheNotes dropping BARS right here. Please do dump some Wendy’s chili on your potatoes. You won’t regret it. - The Classic
-
Butter, cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives – @Kat59217016
I mean, this is the quintessential loaded potato and, trust us, it is quintessential for a reason. The salty, the creamy, the umami, the smoky—much like New York’s hottest club according to Stefon, this potato has everything. Related: Our Ranking of the Best Bacon
- The Cheesy Broccoli
-
Steamed broccoli, cheeeeeese, sour cream. – @smartbunny_RG
Who doesn’t love a good broccoli and cheese anything? Nobody, that’s who. This is genius. - The Flavor Bomb
-
Chili, cheese, sour cream, green onion, cilantro. Can also swap chili for salsa. – @AliciaAlto
@AliciaAlto knows what’s up. This combo sounds absolutely divine. The salsa or the chili with the fresh flavor of the cilantro? Ugh, sign me up. Related: Our Ranking of the Best Hot Salsa
- The Frito Pie
-
call me crazy but i like to make a little frito pie; chili, cheese and slightly crushed up fritos for crunch —@anaxnaqib
I want this right now. My favorite way to eat any baked potato is with an ungodly amount of salt and that is truly the best part about Fritos. Plus carbs on carbs is always the answer. Always. Related: Our Ranking of the Best Corn Chips
- The Freeshavacadoo
-
Totally loaded with avocado – @KyKiKi84
I would have never thought of this but I guess avocado is just nature’s green butter if you really think about it! - The BBQ Blast
-
Butter, sour cream, cheese, smoked brisket, spicy bbq sauce – @megda06
BRISKET AND BBQ SAUCE ON A POTATO?!? Brb doing that right now; I didn’t even realize BBQ on potatoes was legal. Related: Our Ranking of the Best BBQ Sauce
- The Tuna Melt
-
Okay, hear me out- tuna salad (made properly with diced pickles, scallions, dill, lemon juice and mayonnaise), topped with sharp cheddar cheese and broiled until the cheese melts. – @KatieVasanth
Okay, I had never heard of this combo, but apparently this is a lot of your guys’ go-to tuber topping. I guess it’s like if you mixed a potato salad and a tuna salad right there in the potato and, honestly? It kind of sounds fantastic. I will also be adding this one to my list.
