The humble baked spud

A great side to almost any meal, or even as a meal on its own! Wrapped in foil and chucked on the barbie or into the campfire, or simply nuked in the microwave to soften it up a bit first then thrown on the rack in the oven to crisp up.. I am sure there are numerous ways we all do the "fillings" too. Personally I am always a big fan of the never fail trusty lashings of butter, onion and grated cheese :)
Can't go wrong with that. Others like sour cream and chives - not a fan of sour cream myself.

Another way is to cut the top off the potato once it's cooked, scoop out the insides into a bowl, add in some chopped ham or bacon, corn, mash it all up, mix in a lightly beaten egg, add seasoning and spoon it back into the potato, bake it in the oven for a further 5 minutes, then add some grated cheese to the top.. YUM. 
Or add some salsa dip to it. Leftover chopped chicken goes really well too. Possibilities are endless...
