- For more flavor, you can add things like chives or garlic powder to the filling.
- To make the filling richer, try adding sour cream or cream cheese.
- Top with grated cheese or bacon bits before baking for extra crunch and taste.
- Stuffed potatoes work well as a side dish or a meal by themselves.
