Competition for McCalisters

Have you ever been to McAlister's Deli? It's a chain restaurant that has many different types of sandwiches but is known best for it's baked potatoes and tea. They have HUGE baked potatoes with many different toppings. Mark and I decided a few months ago that we'd have baked potatoes at home and make them like we'd order them from McAlisters.

To bake the potatoes I simply wash them, poke a few holes with a fork, rub a bit of oil and salt on them and individually wrap them in aluminum foil. Then they go in the oven for about an hour on 350.

We usually grill some chicken and cut it up into bite sized pieces. Then, each add our own choice of toppings which obviously are endless. I like a bit of butter, tomatoes, cheese, salt, pepper and sour cream. Mark likes butter, cheese and chicken.

Here's a picture of my potato from the other night. They are easy, hearty, and healthy (depending on your toppings). Yum yum!



So, what toppings do you like on your baked potato?
