BAKED POTATOES WITH TOPPING

Baked Potatoes with Topping image

Baked potato toppings can be boring, but this one is jazzy. It's easy, fast and everyone really enjoys it. It makes potatoes a little more special. For added zip, I use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. -Alice DePauw, Defuniak Springs, Florida
