Baked potatoes
 

Hey chicks

I LOVE baked potatoes, but the baked beans and veggie chillie toppings are getting a little boring.

Can anybody recommend a healthy meat free alternative for a filling?

broccoli
cottage cheese w/ salsa

Thanks for the suggestion ward, do you mean Broccoli prepared in a specific way?

Salsa, barbeque sauce, or i really like pickle juice, dijon mustard, and apple cider on a baked potato then mash it up, its similar to dill potato salad :)

Nooooo... I just threw out my pickle juice today because I couldn't think of anything to use it in :( I'm looking for ideas to use up my apple cider and this would have been perfect as we have tons of potatoes and dijon too.

Aww, you'll have to try it sometime!

Here is the actual potato salad if you are interested...

Creamy Dill Potato Salad3 lbs. Red potatoes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 celery stalks, finely diced
1 cup vegan mayonnaise (try Vegenaise)
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
1 1/2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1-2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to completely cover the potatoes. Season with the salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander and let cool.
• Combine all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.
• Cut the cooled potatoes into 1-inch pieces and carefully add them to the bowl, stirring until coated.

In this recipe I used dill pickle juice instead of dill :)

Ranch dressing or miso gravy are my favorites.

Sorry, spoz. I get broccoli w/ light cheese sauce frozen in a box. Heat and pour over the potato and voila.

you could get some morningstar "bacon" ...that wouldn't be so bad, with some soy cheese ...Delicious, I'd bet.

...What about curry? I don't know, that might work pretty good. It's sooo easy to make too if you don't want to buy the premade stuff.

oh pickle juice sounds so good, im going to try that lol

Last night I made a "baked" stir fry, using Walmart's froze Snap Pea Stir Fry blend, and and a bit Yoshida brand stir fry sauce (I got it at Sam's, but some regular groceries carry it - or any stir fry sauce would do), and baked at 350. I put pork medalions in, but there's no reason that they have to be there.

Tonight, I'm eating the veggies over a baked potato.

Flavored light cream cheese is good

tvp sloppy joes or taco filling

Cream of mushroom or tomato soup (I make it with a little less water, so it's more like gravy).

My favorite baked potato topper is green beans in tomato sauce. My grandma's recipe had bacon and onion in it, but I don't always use the bacon. In fact, a quickie version I make is a can of french cut green beans stirred into a jarred spaghetti sauce. Very yummy.

you guys are seriously making me want a baked one right now

Some of the bought items arent as easy to grab hold of in the Uk but I'll definitely have a look. Thanks folks!

This might sound a bit strange, but I LOVE baked potatoes with white wine vinegar and course ground mustard. So yummy!

Ooh I really like these ideas! :)

Here's a list from the old McDougall forum! (low fat vegan)

Wow, good post Quillie, that is a lot of ideas.

avacado and salsa

I love baked potatoes! I like chives, sour cream (try tofutti if you're vegan) with some smart balance... YUM!!!

I just had a baked potato tonight topped with spinach sauteed with a little garlic and feta cheese, yum yum.

I know this post is a little old but I just wanted to say that I love that McDougall list (thank you for the link!) and wanted to give the creamed corn a big thumbs up!!
It's sooo good, especially with an added dash of pepper!

MOntgomery Inn BBQ Sauce is the best on baked pots.

Salt and pepper.

Also, try nutritional yeast.

If you're not vegan - pesto is delicious.
