What's the most necessary baked potato topping?

I actually prefer a modest amount of Ranch salad dressing on my baked potato & I'm not a Ranch fanatic-- I just prefer it for baked spuds.  If not Ranch- then good ole butta, salt & peppa.

I followed this recipe to the letter and the potato was not done!  I was hard as a rock and I had to place in the microwave to complete.  The one hour and five minute cooking time was way too short.

Yum!! I added some oil, salt, pepper, butter, cheddar cheese and sour cream. It was amazing 😍

Best Baked potatoe recipeI have ever tried. Baking the potatoes at 350 is perfect for a crispy skin and soft inside. Most other recipes say to bake at 400 but that makes the skin almost burnt and the inside is still a little too hard. Love this recipe for baking perfect baked potatoes!

I have not tried it but I sure will and believe I am going to love it.
