I heard the saying that I used for my title on a television commercial, I loved it, am using it, and crediting it to a potato commercial. It was about turning a plain baked potato into a superb baked potato. Anyway, the reason this particular commercial caught my eye is because in the last few days I just can't seem to eat enough baked potatoes. They taste so good and go down so easy that I keep eating them. I have been grinding my vegetables and my meat so I can swallow them. I have moved to microwaving the potato, putting some meat, not a lot, and vegetables, also not a lot, and topping it all with shredded cheese and melting it. I have found that the butter that I slathered my potatoes with and the salt and pepper that would be sprinkled on is no longer needed. They are delicious without them. I have found a new favorite way to eat my baked potatoes, healthy and delicious. Do you ever add extra fixings to your spuds?

@crazyhorseladycx I am sorry to hear that they don't agree with you. It was really my hubby who thought of it. He knows how I like stuffed baked potatoes, he just ground everything up small enough so I could get it down my throat. I was thrilled.

The only thing that I usually add to my potatoes are a bit of butter and a touch of salt.

@JudyEv you can make a delicious healthy meal with a little imagination. And, it's great for those who are having a problem swallowing.

My mother and I are potato crazy! Tonight I think I'll mash those suckers with a little garlic in them. I do like stuffed baked potatoes. In fact, I have some leftover taco meat I'm thinking I could use for that at lunch time today. Put grated cheese on the top YUM. I've never really eaten a potato with nothhig on it. Hmmmm. I like making them in the toaster oven, with olive oil on the skin, makes the potato skin crispy and good. I bet I could eat one of those just on its own.
