Do you enjoy eating baked potatoes? How do you like them cooked and topped?

Not anymore, no. They are very carb heavy. Back when I did, though, a nice tuna, mayo and sweetcorn topping was super nice.

Oh yess they are yummy. My method is semi lazy- 90% in microwave then finish in a nice hot oven to crisp that skin!
Chilli and cheese with lots of butter is topping of choice.

Baked potatoes may be slightly better for you than many of the commercially prepared French fries. Although if you cut up a potato at home and cook it in the air fryer, perhaps with some olive oil on them, I can see that those would be about the same as a plain baked potato.

Baked potatoes are much better than raw potatoes.
I really like baked golden (yellow) potatoes, I don't even butter them. They taste great with just some salt and pepper.
